Lentils and Rice (Mujadara)

One thing is sure: Mujadara lentils must be small, round, and dark brown. Those have a deep nutty flavor that will make all the difference for this purist’s dish.

Lentils and Rice with Beef (Mujadara b’ Lahmeh)

Mujadara is all about being a vegetarian dish, and so a version with meat seems so contradictory and weird! But it does exist, and it is Georgina al Bayeh, Tawlet’s super smiling cook from Kfar Dlekos, who initiated us to the wonders of mujadara b’ lahmeh!

Lemony Lentil Stew (Aadass bi Hammod)

A definite winter warmer, aadass bi hammod is a thick soup/stew of lentils, Swiss chard, potatoes, onions, and lemon juice. It is a winter mountain meal, made when chard is abundant and beautiful.

Main Dishes, Vegetarian

Fish Kibbeh (Kebbet Samak)

Kibbeh is mainly done with meat, with more than 30 different versions of it, but in coastal cities, kibbeh is made with fish!

Fish and Seafood, Grains, Main Dishes

Potato Kibbeh (Kebbet Batata Nayeh)

This is one of the easiest kibbeh to do, as no shaping dexterity is needed! Kebbet batata, or potato kibbeh, comes in two versions. In this version, nayeh means “raw”; not that the potato is raw, because it is boiled and cooked, but rather that it is mixed with bulgur and herbs and eaten without further cooking.

Main Dishes, Vegetarian

Armenian Fine Bulgur Salad (Itch)

Armenian cuisine is sophisticated and has a taste of its own. Itch is basically the Armenian version of a tabouleh. Itch is mainly fine-ground bulgur soaked in a tomato-based sauce.

Grains, Mezze, Salad, Vegetarian

Hummus

Hummus is the definite non-home food—even if you find it often in home-cooked meals. A good restaurant is measured to the quality of its hummus, and hummus in the old days used to be bought at the souk fawwal only.

Homemade Noodles with Lentils (Reshta)

Reshta is the West Beqaa answer for what to serve for Good Friday’s lunch: large homemade noodles in a thick lentil stew. Lentils are a Good Friday staple, and are said to represent Christ’s tears.

Grains, Main Dishes, Vegetarian

Green Fava Bean Stew (Foul Akhdar b’ Zeit)

Fava beans are a staple of Lebanese cuisine. Dry green fava beans are picked in the early spring, boiled, and served as a stew-type salad for breakfast, announcing the arrival of good days and fresh eating.

Legumes, Vegetarian

Grainy-Style Rice with Lentils (Mudardara)

This is the “other” mujadara, the one that must be “grainy,” with the rice in distinct separate grains and not puréed like the Rice and Lentils.
