Maqluba (also attested by a variety of other spellings in English; Arabic: مَقْلُوبَة, romanized: maqlūba, lit. 'upside-down') is a traditional Levantine dish[1] that is popular across Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] It consists of meat, rice, and fried vegetables placed in a pot which is flipped upside down when served, hence the name.[9]
The earliest mention of the dish is found in a 13th-century cookbook, Kitāb al-Ṭabīkh (The Book of Dishes), written by Muhammad Baghdadi during the Abbasid Caliphate.[10] In the context of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, Palestinians have described attempts to label the dish as Israeli as cultural appropriation.[11]
The most traditional Palestinian meals are maqluba, musakhan, and mansaf
