These are such amazing cooking videos -- some of the best content out there and Noor has such a beautiful presence and way of explaining cooking. Please come back with more videos, OTK! Your fans need you here on YT!!!!
I just went on a hunt in the city today to get all the ingrediences/spices. This already was an adventure. Cooking the recepie was a lot of fun, not too difficult and with a very tasty outcome. I am a big fan of the middle eastern cuisine and I am so happy I now know how to get these flavors at home. Thank you guys for this amazing channel. I will continue love watching it! I send you a big hug from Switzerland! By the way: I exchanged the prawns with chicken - turnend out great! And replaced the dill with parsley - was also great!
As a Bahraini this is my favorite Machboos, and as a person who just eats Machboos and never cooked it I'll make sure to make the shrimp stock whenever I try to cook it cuz yes umami.
These are just lovely & I enjoying the commeroderie - thank you; It's been interesting to rethink some of these for my vegetarian diet - the rice looks amazing & the book has been a treasure to read through as well.
I just love the food and gastronomy of the Arab world, it beats Italian and French food anytime and that’s coming from a Norwegian (who has some Greek heritage) who loves aromatic and fine spices …
Aaaah, then you have not reached the stage where you may pick YOUR favourite. Even if you travel far and wide until the end of your life, you still will NOT taste EVERY cuisine the world has to offer, so don't be too hasty to choose!
Delicious! I was able to find all the ingredients you mentioned. Made a slight adjustment, instead of fresh coriander I used fresh parsley 😀 Thank you for the amazing recipe
Is it at all traditional to find vegetable machboos or something of the like? I love a spiced rice but I'm a vegetarian. Still, I'd like to try an authentic iteration of the recipe.
Is your cooktop electric or induction? Redoing my kitchen and do not have gas available . Love watching your show - last month I purchased the new cookbook!
Hello Noor - I love watching your process. You and the rest of the kitchen crew are very entertaining. Hopefully people learn they don't have to be slaves to a recipe. That said, I think it would be of help when an unusual ingredient like black limes is used to suggest a swap. I've never seen one, so I'm curious how close they are in taste to regular limes. Is there any similarity? I'm of Lebanese descent, so I'm happy to say my spice and herb shelves look a lot like yours. I've been making that burnt eggplant dip and absolutely love it. I hope your channel continues to grow.
Hi Virginia, thank you for the lovley message. If you can't find black limes, you can use other dried limes (like the paler varieties). It's widely available online as well but if you don't have any on hand, you can omit it from the recipe. Black limes add depth to dishes but the recipe will still be delicious without it. We hope you enjoy the recipe!
You can definitely swap for other grains (brown rice, orzo, bulgar, freekeh) but cooking time and liquids will need to be adjusted. Let us know how you get on.
Is this recipe in your book? I love noomi basra and I’m lucky enough to have family in Bahrain who keep me well stocked with baharat, noomi and zirishk.
I'm sure Yotam agrees with me :) but Noor has to be literally the prettiest (and cutest) person i've ever seen. Are you guys just taking a break from filming? Hope to see new videos soon!
@@Ottolenghi You're very welcome Noor, but no thanks necessary - I was just being an objective observer ;) Your love and passion for Bahrainian food jumps out of the screen & is incredibly endearing. I've added Manama & Bahrain to my upcoming Persian Gulf trip, and its all thanks to you!
Looks like a good recipe, but subject matter is eclipsed by the lady… she seems thoroughly bored, extremely arrogant and irritated to be there. Very very odd behavior

Thanks for bringing back the shelf reflection. It's always important to reflect especially on our shelfs, it helps me gain shelf esteem.

Thank you so much! That was amazing! 🙏

Love your video. Concise and clear. Instructions detailed but not overwhelming. Can’t wait to make it!
Thank you!
Keenly interested in Bahrain cuisine, thanks for the video 💯🙏

So many great tips, thank you!!
Wow- I just cooked it tonight. Such a delicious meal
I have cooked this several times, always a success! Thank you!
Whoop!
I was looking for this recipe! Tried this at Sharjah and I liked it. Going to cook this this weekend InshaAllah! ❤
Yummy 👍what can l use instead of the black lime
Delicious!

You are so welcome!
Looks so delicious. I love how you offer options for vegans as well.🎉
This looks so delicious! Love all the flavors - hoping I can find black lime.
Noor thanks a lot for this recipe... I just cooked it.. it is fantastic... an explosion of flavours... great!!!!!! I love OTK.
Looks amazing cannot wait to try

Loving the OTK series lots. Second to American Test Kitchen.
That's looks delish..... I will try it
I’m a little familiar with the chicken version, but this version with prawns is spectacular!
Beautiful dish and great channel all around

Our hobs are electric but we are not against induction. We hope you are enjoying Shelf Love!

I have seen them in Waitrose
I'm not a fan of basmati rice- what else could I sub in (orzo, short-grain rice?)

The candelabra gag never gets old.
We're glad you think so too!

The recipe isn't in the book but maybe in future ones :)
Delicious!
This looks sooo delish! I love prawns but my husband hates. Do you think it’s ok to replace with chicken breast? 🤔
Go for it! It would be called Machboos Dajaj. Let us know how it goes :)
looks freaking fantastic!
She is lovely.
Not a shrimp eater but that looks fantastic.
I'm sure Yotam agrees with me :) but Noor has to be literally the prettiest (and cutest) person i've ever seen. Are you guys just taking a break from filming? Hope to see new videos soon!
Thank you for the lovely comment Amrith. We're taking a break from filming and planning some new content. Watch the space! :)

Looks delicious. But minus the coriander and cardamom for me.
That looks yum, such smart cooking people. But who's the sad bloke?
👍👍👍👍👍😋😋😋😋😋
That man there …didn’t get a bowlful ??
