Fatet Jaj

Last night in elimination I brought a piece of home to MasterChef ✨ Fatet Jaj — the comfort of crispy pita, garlic yogurt, buttery chicken, and golden fried nuts. A dish I grew up with, and now share with the family I’ve built. #MasterChef #FatetJej #soulfood #delicious #recipe #masterchef

I got to hand it to Samira. This will be the best dish I eat all day. I guarantee it. Good luck. Good luck, Samira. Thank you. I’m super proud of my dish and I think it showcases butter. So, I’m feeling confident now, but we just have to wait and see. Hello, Samira. Simula. I have never had chicken in a jug before. That’s a new experience. Have you Samir? What have you made? Today, I have brought you a little taste of home. So feta j and a middle eastern verm chili rice. So talk to us about butter. Where does that go in this dish? So there is butter in almost every element. So I have made fresh bread which I’ve then fried in ghee. Of course you have. Yeah. I sauteed my chicken in some ghee as well and made a nice sauce out of that. And I burnt butter ghee. I’ve fried my nuts in it. And the vermicelli is cooked in the ghee. Same with the rice. And why did you choose this dish to showcase butter? I wanted to show you guys something from when I was a child. When dad used to pick us up from primary school, we jump in the cast saying, “What has my made for dinner?” And the moment he would say fat jazz, my heart will be jumping for joy. A nice I did not expect that to go on the bread. Everything gets layed up. [Music] So, may you eat with gladness and good health. Let’s plate this because I can’t wait to eat it. Yeah. Like, can we shut up and eat? [Music] Oh. [Music] I got to hand it to Samir. This will be the best dish I eat all day. I guarantee it. Maybe the best dish I ate all week. Maybe the best dish I ate all month. This is pure pure class. And there’s no better dish to bring out on a day like today because it is all about the butter. Let’s start with her use of ghee. She’s not only incorporated that into various elements and fried it off, she’s taken it to the edge so that it gets that extra depth of flavor, that nuttiness. And then when you fry elements in that, like her rice and her vermicelli, there’s something about the way the butter is mixed through that that makes every grain and noodle an individual delight, even though you’re scooping in whole mouthfuls. This is real shovel into your gold food. It is so moorish. Do you know what fascinates me? is that thing is swimming in butter. But because of that garlic in that acidic yogurt that just cuts through everything and you just keep going back for more. I think my favorite dish from Samira so far. Yeah, me too. What we had is stunning. Not just the dish itself, but the transferring something to us. Oh, this 10 out of 10 just for that. She’s pushed the chicken first, shredded it into the ghee. So that piece of chicken is su those little square of fried pita. It is just a delight. This is one of the dishes I will memorize for a very long time.
