Episode 3 Guide:
Mike interviews chef Osama Dalal, whose family has lived in Akko for more than 300 years, to talk about pluralism and how Jews and Arabs live side-by-side. An ambassador of authenticity, Osama demonstrates how Ottoman influences flavor the food of Akko, more than elsewhere in Israel. Mike also speaks with Avihai Tsabari, who sheds further light on the history of the historic port city.
Recipes to make along with Mike:
- Fish Schnitzel with Kataifi Crust, Preserved Lemons and Capers
- Konafi
