Mansaf is a traditional celebratory dish made with tender lamb, served over saffron-infused rice and thin shrak bread, and topped with a warm, tangy fermented yogurt sauce known as jameed. The lamb is slow-cooked until it falls off the bone and is then generously spooned over the rice, along with toasted almonds or pine nuts. Though Jordan is widely recognized for its national version of Mansaf, Palestinians—especially in the southern West Bank around Hebron and Bethlehem—prepare a similar version, often milder and served with local yogurt (laban). It is a dish of pride, served at weddings, holidays, and tribal gatherings.
