Ingredients
Method
Msemen
- Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add lukewarm water slowly, stir in. Work the dough into a ball. Cover the bowl with a damp towel for 30 minutes. Work on the harissa, veggie prep, and chicken during this time.
Harissa
- Add olive oil to a saucepan, heat up on medium low. Add tomatoes and salt, let them cook for about 6 minutes.
- Add the rest of the ingredients, let them simmer together until tomatoes dissolve into a chunky sauce. Stir occasionally so nothing burns on bottom.
Chicken
- Season chicken cutlets liberally with salt, pepper, and turmeric. Add olive oil to a skillet, heat up on medium. Cook chicken cutlets until lightly browned on both sides, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and let them rest before cutting into strips.
Finish Msemen
- Divide dough into 2 pieces. Flour your workspace and put one ball of dough down. Add 1 tsp of oil and work into dough. Roll flat.
- Fold the 4 corners of the dough back into the middle, then roll flat again. Poke holes in the top with a fork. Repeat on the second ball of dough.
- Heat up a skillet on medium heat. Add half the butter. Once melted, add one msemen. Cook until lightly charred, about 1 to 2 minutes, then flip and finish the other side. Take off heat, repeat for second msemen.
- Let the msemen cool until they are flexible. Spread mayo, harissa, and cheese on your msemen. Dress your makloub with your toppings as you see fit. Add salt and pepper if desired. Dig in!
