I like to host guests at my home from time to time, and I am gathering  recipes of different dishes and drinks to keep things interesting. I am interested in trying some Iraqi dishes. Can you give me a recipe for Maqluba?
Okay, Maqluba is usually served as a main course, and it’s a fairly typical Iraqi dish.  There are a number of ways you can make this, but here are two recipes that you can try:

Ingredients:

•   1kg potatoes

•   1 small onion, chopped

•   300g green lentils, washed and drained

•   500ml vegetable oil

•   1 tsp paprika

•   1 tsp ground cinnamon

•   1 tsp ground coriander

•   1 tsp ground cumin

•   4 whole cloves of garlic

•   1 lemon, juiced and zested

•   2 green chillies

•   Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

1.  Peel potatoes, chop them into chunks, and place in a large bowl. 
2.  Soak lentils in cold water for 30 minutes. 
3.  Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. 
4.  Cook onions in oil, stirring often until they begin to soften. 
5.  Add potatoes, lentils, spices, salt and pepper, and lemon
Sure, this is pretty simple. The traditional recipe is:

10 ounces ground beef
10 ounces chopped cooked white rice
1/2 cup raisins
2 tablespoons ground sumac
Salt, pepper

Sautée ground beef.  Mix it with the white rice, raisins, ground sumac, salt, and pepper.  Bake in a 350F oven for 30 minutes.  Garnish with pine nuts.
