Notes from Rouba

  • Traditionally, this recipe is made with dry white beans.
  • You can cook this recipe the day before.
  • You can make it with or without meat.
  • Arabian spice is my blend known in the Middle East as Baharat or 7-spice blend. You can find it at Middle Eastern grocery stores and various supermarkets. Otherwise, you can substitute with 5-spice or allspice.

Method

Step 1.

In a pot, sauté the chopped onion and garlic over medium heat. Add chicken and allspice and mix until well combined (approximately 1 minute). Add passata sauce and water and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 2.

Add washed beans. Season with salt and continue to simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until the sauce slightly thickens. Stir in the coriander.

With so many new followers here, today feels like the right time to reintroduce myself, as it also marks the 76th anniversary of the Nakba—a day of remembrance for the Palestinian people, including my family🇵🇸🌟 

I’m Rouba, 40+7 years young, and I’ve been happily married for 28 years🙏🏽 Those who follow my stories know my husband is quite the character, always keeping things lively 😅 We have two wonderful sons, and my mother-in-law is truly amazing—she often features in my stories ❤️

I’m a big foodie, with a special love for hummus fatteh, ofcourse the  Lebanese 🇱🇧 version 😉 it’s my absolute favourite! I believe Middle Eastern food is the yummiest in the world. 🙌🏼 And yes, I’m proudly pro-Palestine, married to a Palestinian. 

Seventy-five years ago, my husband’s grandfather and his family were evicted from their home. This history is a significant part of our lives 💔

Thanks for joining me here, where we celebrate rich flavours, vibrant stories, and the resilience of a remarkable culture.
