Authentic Jordanian recipes wanted

Question

My boyfriend is Jordanian and I would love to surprise him by making him a Jordanian meal. All types of dishes welcome. I don't want to spend all day in the kitchen but I do regularly cook, so it doesn't have to be super easy. Thanks!

Answer 2

Well although tasty, middle eastern food is alot of work, there arent too many 30 minute meals.

Traditional Jordanian dishes included...

Mensaf, Makloubeh, dowali(stuffed grape leaves) Kufta, Bamia,Mjadarra,Mloukhia(Jews Mallow Soup) Adas(lental soup) Jordanian and Palestinian are very close almost one in the same, just because of the geographics as well as the large Palestinian population in Jordan.
