I should have given Wright credit for the inspiration but this post in nearly 5 years old, so I can't remember why I didn't, perhaps I forgot. I respect Wright's work immensely and as you can see from other posts on this blog I always give credit for the recipe's of others. I will be sure to remedy it in the post.<br /><br />Lifexhistory -- Thanks for the bread dipping tip! I actually don't love this recipe for musakhan because I feel like the bread is too thin and dries out too much. Perhaps I will try your tips and Dalia's tip about taboun bread and try a new version.<br /><br />Dalia -- advice is always welcome :) !!Mercedeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097330009175643958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-82324350515369439542014-05-31T11:19:06.573-05:002014-05-31T11:19:06.573-05:00What possible motivation was there for not crediti...What possible motivation was there for not crediting the source of this recipe? Very odd and poor form. This is a Clifford Wright recipe which he credits to his former mother-in-law Leila al-Qattan.<br /><br />Here it is. <br /><br />http://www.cliffordawright.com/caw/recipes/display/recipe_id/804/NFAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04804324016396552544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-35775405395984526992011-01-17T03:22:11.335-05:002011-01-17T03:22:11.335-05:00Beautiful photos of this delicious dish! thanks fo...Beautiful photos of this delicious dish! thanks for sharing your recipe.Momhttp://mimicooks.com/2009/05/palestinian-msakhkhan.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-74470342327261854542010-02-10T21:51:30.426-05:002010-02-10T21:51:30.426-05:00I'm eager to try this recipe, but there is not...I'm eager to try this recipe, but there is nothing resembling a Middle-Eastern grocery anywhere near my house, and I don't think I'll ever find marquq. I did find, however, that <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/lavash-recipe/index.html" rel="nofollow">Alton Brown has a recipe for lavash</a> (which you mention can be used in lieu of the marquq), but it seems to yield a product more closely resembling crackers and I wonder if his lavash can be successfully substituted here.

It's a "traditional" version that I learned as the "reheating" happens in part because it's frequently leftover chicken. It's boiled with a little cardamom and salt. The bread is often dipped in the stock before tearing it up and making the layers. Also a great variation instead of pine nuts (which I love) was one that my friends mother made with peanuts. Not sure where she got the idea, but it was a surprising and yummy substitution. <br /><br />And btw, I'm in love with your blog-- only recently discovered it.
