Tomatoes softened in olive oil with optional aromatic seasonings.
About Galayet Bandora
Diana presents galayet bandora as a traditional Jordanian dish of tomatoes cooked in olive oil. Her family version uses peeled tomatoes, while onion and garlic remain optional rather than defining every regional preparation.
Salt seasons the tomatoes, with an optional serrano pepper supplying heat. Ground black pepper is another personal addition, and pine nuts are an optional topping described by the source.
The tomatoes soften into a stew that is eaten with pita bread. This recipe selects warm pita from the offered serving options, using the bread to scoop the tomatoes rather than adding meat, eggs or rice.
