- Mansaf!
- And on the volcano!?
- God is the greatest, God is the greatest
Guatemala, a country in Central America
Out of the countries that contains the most volcanoes in the world
In the previous videos, we climbed on one of them and saw it erupting
However, this video is different
I heard of another active volcano called Pacaya
And there is a person making pizza on its lava and is selling it
So I decided to go there, and instead of trying the pizza, I'll make a Mansaf
Good morning! Today..
Is my birthday
30/10/2021
I want to do something different so I met a group of friends
Who live in Guatemala
And we decided
To go up one of the active volcanoes and cook Mansaf there
And check the opinion of the locals about the taste of Mansaf
It's the most popular meal in Jordan
Tres
- Hattutaa!
Hattuta!
We just arrived to the volcano
As we arrived we saw these little kids wanting to sell us these sticks
To use them for hiking up the mountain
How much is one of them for?
- Ten
Ten, this one is for 10 quetzal equal to 1 dinar
What's up, friend?
- Good
So we're going up now
We arrived to the place we go up the volcano from, the latter is called Pacaya
We're going up on horses, the road will take 2 hours
We took the ingredients for the Mansaf and gonna cook it up there
I think it's the 1st time this happens in the world
I challenge you if anyone has done it before
- These are the Mansaf ingredients, we will fix it all up in God's will
- You will taste a quite delicious Mansaf
- Local Mansaf for today!
- Happy birthday
What's up, Ayman!
- Happy birthday, my friend
- Halt!
- Halt
Yeaah
We arrived to the top of the volcano
The place is full of rocks that are clear to be solidified lava
These are the volcanic rocks
And this volcano keeps..
Leaking lava every now and then
So these rocks are renewed every now and then
However, the entire space you see in front of you here is from the volcano, from the lava becoming solid
We're going to discover deeper in to see what's there near the volcano and lava
You don't know Mansaf?
Mansaf!
- Mansaf?
It's a very delicious Jordanian dish
- Apples?
Apples, bro, apples?
- I don't know it
We'll be cooking Mansaf now
- Okay
You will try it in God's will
- Okay
Sure you'll like it big time
God grant you health
- Thank you so much, gala gala
Pacaya is 1 of 3 active volcanoes in Guatemala
Every now and then there is leaking lava from it
Unfortunately, that day wasn't one of the days
Even though, the floor is still hot from lavas of the previous days
We're searching for a place with high temperature
To be able to put the pot on
So that it cooks well
We didn't find the right place yet
We're still checking
We will dig these rocks and the temperature will be higher under it
How's the temperature here?
- It feels suitable, very suitable place
At last we found a place that
Has enough temperature to cook on
You can feel the heat here, and it's very hot deeper in
We will get all the ingredients, we have this here
And we will start the cooking here
- Happy birthday to you!
- Happy birthday to Qasem
- Happy birthday to you
[ cheering ]
Thanks a lot, my friends!
The temperature is not like the stove's
So we tried to cover the pot so that it would take in all the heat, we covered the top
We will wait maybe half an hour, an hour for it to boil
So that it would be ready, and the meat in it
There is a store, on the volcano itself, that sells pizza
You can buy pizza
But I thought "Why pizza?"
All this effort can go to something greater
"Let's cook Mansaf!"
So these people behind us who came to try the pizza, we will let them try the Mansaf too!
How long have you been making pizza here?
- 3 years
3 years!
- I have been making pizza here for 3 years
Before Covid or after?
- Before and after
Before Covid
- Before, yeah
We are waiting
How's it goin'? All good?
- Golden, golden
All great?
- A 100%
On the volcano!
All good and comfortable
- Mansaf!
- Cooked on the volcano!
- God is the greatest
We're waiting for the Mansaf to be ready
It's being cooked on the volcanic lava
- We're preparing it now In Sha' Allah (God wills it)
The 1st part is almost ready, we will ready the rice
To start prearranging the Mansaf tray
Oh my!
Abu Anas has fixed it all up with meat and almonds and all
I mean such an original Mansaf!
In the middle of Guatemala
- This is your best birthday by far
Best birthday, for real
- May you be in health year after year
You too
The lava itself took in some of the broth
Instead of lava going out you will have the broth going out with meat
- We forgot to bring some candles for you
- But we got you almonds and hazelnuts
Oh yeah!
[ cheering ]
The mission "Transporting the Mansaf"
This is transporting the Mansaf mission
From the cooking area to the eating area
We finished cooking and started serving
We want everyone here to try..
