Sumaghiyyeh

Sumaghiyyeh is a traditional dish originating from Gaza City. It's made with a combination of sumac-infused water, tahini, and flour. The ingredients are mixed together, and the mixture is then added to cooked meat (usually beef), herbs, sliced chard, garbanzo beans, and spices.


It's fried in olive oil, poured into bowls to chill, then served with pita bread for scooping. Sumaghiyyeh is traditionally prepared on holidays and special occasions such as weddings, funerals, and Eid.
