Chef Ali: "I'm making Mashawi, which is a little like the American mixed grill. The name comes from Eid-al-Adha. Back home, my family and I, we just gather in our garden and we make barbecue, because Eid-al-Adha ... it's more about sacrificing what you have to give it to the poor. It's like sharing your food."

Chef Ali: "Today I have prepared flat bread, lamb kebab, shish kebab. And on the side I have prepared mezze style dishes. Tartar sauce with pomegranate molasses. This reminds me of Eid al Adha when we go and buy lamb, sheep, cow or camel. And then we slaughter it. And you're only allowed to take one third of the whole animal and the rest you give away to people in need.
