Manakish, also manaqish, manaeesh or manakeesh or in singular form man'ousheh ((アラビア語:مناقيش) ''manāqīsh''; sometimes called معجنات ''mu‘ajjanāt'' 'pastry') is a popular Levantine Arabic food consisting of dough topped with thyme, cheese, or ground meat. Similar to a pizza, it can be sliced or folded, and it can either be served for breakfast or lunch. The word ''manaqish'' is the plural of the Arabic word ''manqūshah'' (from the root verb ''naqasha'' 'to sculpt, carve out'), meaning that after the dough has been rolled flat, it is pressed by the fingertips to create little dips for the topping to lie in. Traditionally, women would bake dough in a communal oven in the morning, to provide their family with their daily bread needs, and would prepare smaller portions of dough with different toppings for breakfast at this time.〔 Manakish is popular in most Levantine countries, as well as in many cities throughout the world where people of Levantine origin have settled. ==Classic toppings== *Za'atar (Arabic: زعتر, ''za'tar'', ''manaqish bi'l za'tar''). The most popular form of manakish uses za'atar as a topping. The zaatar is mixed with olive oil and spread onto the bread before baking it in the oven. It is a favourite breakfast preparation in Levantine cuisine. It is also served by Levantene cooks as part of a mezze, or as a snack with a glass of mint tea and feta cheese on the side.〔 Popular also in the Arabian Peninsula, it was likely introduced there by Palestinians making the pilgrimage to Mecca. *Cheese (Arabic: جبنة, ''jubnah''). There are two main types of cheese manakish: ‘Akkāwī (Arabic: عكاوي), Sfatit (Hebrew:צפתית) and Kashkaval (Arabic: قشقوان). People usually mix cheese with zaatar, chicken, or meat when baking manakish to give it a better taste. *Minced lamb (Arabic: لحم بعجين, ''lāḥm bi-‘ajīn'', "meat with dough", ''sfiha''). Other manakish are served for lunch because of their heavier contents. This popular manakish has lamb topping. The minced lamb is mixed with tiny pieces of diced tomato and vegetable oil, and this manakish is optionally served with ground pepper or pickles and yogurt. *Chili((アラビア語:فليفلة) or فلفل حر). *Kishq ((アラビア語:كشك)). *Spinach ((アラビア語:سبانخ)), Swiss Chard ((アラビア語:سلق)). *Fried Eggplant ((ヘブライ語:חציל)) common in Israel and topped with olive oil and sometimes oregano and chili peppers 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manakish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
