📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Galayet bandora means 'tomato sauté,' an easy dish often made in Jordanian homes and on outings. Olive oil, garlic, and chili are heated in a pan and tomatoes are cooked until they collapse — that's all. It's scooped up with flatbread and often made when camping or outdoors.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a picnic outside town, the family sets a frying pan over a campfire to cook down tomatoes and scoops them up with fresh bread.
