🇵🇸 Gaza City

Tony had a meal with Laila El-Haddad and her family. They ate maqluba (a traditional Palestinian dish made of layers of fried eggplant, tomato, potatoes, caramelized onions, and chicken, sautéed then simmered in a broth with nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, and rice). They traveled just outside Gaza City to a gathering place for elders where they had fatit ’ajir (roasted baby watermelon, eggplant, tomatoes, squash, chiles, and olive oil) served with unleavened bread.
