Ingredients

Start here, then move straight into the method.

  • 2 large sheets puff pastry
  • 2 boiled chicken breasts
  • seasonings for boiling the chicken
  • 8 large dry onions
  • vegetable oil
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons sumac or to taste
  • 1 coffee cup pomegranate molasses
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • olive oil

Method

Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.

  1. Boil the chicken with a little of the seasonings until cooked; you don't want the boiling spices to overpower the Musakhan so the sumac flavor can come through later
  2. Finely chop the onions and sauté them in a little vegetable oil until they soften
  3. Sprinkle salt, black pepper and sumac over the onions and stir
  4. Add the chicken breast shredded by hand into thin strips and stir until the chicken absorbs the sumac flavor well
  5. Sprinkle pomegranate molasses, then add the walnuts broken by hand into small pieces and stir for a while
  6. Let the filling cool completely before using
  7. Roll out a sheet of puff pastry in a tart pan or on a baking tray and prick it with a fork in several places so it doesn't puff up when baked
  8. Spread the filling, then drizzle a little olive oil over it
  9. Cover the filling with another layer of puff pastry and fold the dough over the edges to completely seal the filling inside
  10. Brush the top of the tart or Musakhan mold with a little olive oil
  11. Prick the surface of the tart lightly with a fork so the puff pastry doesn't puff up in the oven
  12. Bake the Musakhan puff pastry tart in the oven for about 18 minutes at moderate heat or until the puff pastry is cooked
    Timers: 18 min
