    I made this last night and served it with some crunchy french bread, your carrot salad, and a little zeit bi zaatar; it was a wonderful meal. Thank you so much Alia; not only are your recipes delicious, but it is also a joy to watch videos of such a beautiful woman preparing them.

    Hi Alia , thank you for all your recipes , they are so delicious , i wanna tell you that for this one you can replace the parsley and cilantro by using thyme and bay leaf (feuille de laurier) it's more delicious ^^
