Made this today and the flavors are amazing!!! Another great recipe from you.
It's more easier and less complicated than you did but good job overall 🤍
When I made this, I used a pound of diced beef, ditalini rigati, serrano chili.
I made the Bzaar with madras curry, extra coriander and turmeric, as I was sautéing the onions and garlic, and just kind of eyeballed it, then added a 50/50 mix paprika and cayenne. Then I added some MSG, and it was fantastic.
I want to food from Libya 🇱🇾
I am of Libyan origin, and I advise you to add a little water to make it have a more wonderful taste, as well as some crushed garlic cloves

This was AWESOME!
When I was 4 or 5 (early 1970's), I had my first experience tasting lamb/mutton, and it was not great (I bit into a big piece of fat… blegh!) Since then, I have mostly avoided any meat that ever said "baaaa". I've had it a few times in restaurants and it was always good, but I lacked the confidence to ever try to cook it.
Fast forward to now; my eldest child is into cooking and sends me links to Middle Eats. (They have commented, but I don't want to get yelled at for outing them.) The first time they came home after sending me a link to Lentil Fatteh, they made it and it was FABULOUS!
Some time later, they sent me this link. They live in a fairly small town, and lamb was WAY too expensive there (We live in the Northwestern US. As a rule, Americans don't eat much lamb or mutton; there are exceptions, but…), so they made the dish with beef (readily available) It was a big success!
I live in a much larger town, so lamb is reasonably priced. My beloved edlest child came home in March and, as planned, I had all of the ingredients (including lamb chops) assembled. My poor child stepped out of the car with their friend, unloaded their stuff, and then began making Mbakbaka.
It was GLORIOUS!
Thank you so much
I absolutely love that you show closeups of the ingredients as you've prepared them. I love learning new cuisines, but when I'm learning stuff, "how it should look" is a massively helpful thing to know because I've never seen it before! The close up with something in the shot as a reference point really helps.
Good
I didn't have all the spices onhand, I used a meat that was leaner than it should have been, and this STILL turned out really nice. I like a thicker stew so I cooked the rigatoni without adding much extra water at all, so they're holding on to a lot of the flavor very nicely. I think the recommendation for adding zucchini is a good one too; I put one in there and I think it's a valuable contributor!
This look delicious . i will definitely try 😋 thank you for ur effort 👌
You forgot to add crushed garlic to it .
You need to cook Rushda .
You need to taste mbakbaka with home made bacon . Another level taste .
This is a lovely form of doing it semi right. But as a Libyan chef I promise you if you know how to make a basic marinara sauce, cook it well with onions and garlic and add the right amount of water along with the pasta. You can get the same outcome. Of course with meat it's more delicious, but as a Libyan I hate chili (yeah I'm not the same haha). Especially green chili. Lamb and chicken are a lovely addition to it.
I made this today. It is amazingly delicious. I've been making Middle Eastern food for more than 30 years but your recipes are the best. I've changed how I make several things using your recipes. Thank you so very much.
❤️ from 🇱🇾
I just made this last night and it was delicious! Is there supposed to be a lot of extra liquid in the pot afterwards?
Made this tonight and it turned out fantastic!! Will add some more vegetables next time 🙂 thanks a lot
