This recipe is a recreation - to the best of my memory, and with some tweaks to make it more convenient, accessible, and affordable - of one of my favorite Syrian dishes introduced to me by a lovely family from Aleppo. Every since I first had it I've been wanting a recipe, and I recently came across Luay Ghafari's great recipe and realized it was pretty close to perfect. I can't claim any authenticity for my version, but it is a deliciously vegan dish that I crave whether I'm off meat or not. I hope you like it as much as I do!
