Sanbusa Turnovers

Thu, 28 Mar 2002 18:55:43 -0500

A Ramadan dish popular in Syria, Lebanon and Egypt, sanbusa traveled to India and became samosa. Sweet sanbusa halvah are special favourites at weddings in the Gulf countries. This is a single recipe for dough, and various different fillings, each yielding enough to fill one batch of dough to make 36-48 pastries. I have not made these myself - I found the recipe on the Internet and posted it by request. -- posted by Mille®

Lebanese Kibbeh in a Tray

Sun, 28 Apr 2002 18:28:44 -0400

Kibbeh is virtually the national dish of Lebanon and to call it a meat loaf does not quite raise it to the heights it deserves. Its traditional preparation is dramatic. It requires a stone mortar and a heavy pestle called the jorn and modaqqa. The meat is pounded with rhythmic motions until it is smooth and pasty. All the neighborhood knows the sound of kibbeh in the making. -- posted by 1Steve

Seven Sisters Secret Sauce!!

Thu, 30 May 2002 17:49:54 -0400

A superb sauce with that Middle Eastern flavour from the Tahini. My six sisters-in-law tried to decide what was in the sauce! Hence the name...me being the seventh sister! Delicious in chicken sandwiches, over grilled meats and also as a dip. -- posted by Angela Sara

Spiced Sweet Roasted Red Pepper & feta Hummus

Thu, 29 Aug 2002 16:33:03 -0400

Middle Eastern style spread for Pita bread. This recipe is very tasty and easy to make. This is a very popular dish in this region. The base is usually Chickpeas and Tahini, but the flavor added to the base vary widely from one chef to the next. Tahini is a sesame paste, you can usually find it in the Mediterranean section of your grocery store. -- posted by 1Steve

Kibbee Nyi (Raw Kibbee)

Mon, 14 Jul 2003 20:04:43 -0400

Lebanese raw beef or lamb dish, often served as part of a meza (appetizer) assortment. This recipe is my variation of my dad's and my cousin's recipes. In addition to being eaten 'as is', it is also the basis for many cooked kibbee recipes, a few of which will be submitted separately. -- posted by Toby Jermain

Tabouli (Lebanese Bulghur, Parsley, and Mint Salad)

Mon, 14 Jul 2003 20:05:12 -0400

Tabouli is a Lebanese salad and is often served as part of a meza appetizer assortment, as well as on its own. This is my cousin's recipe, and according to her, you NEVER put garlic in tabouli, and there is no place in it for celery, cucumber, or any of the myriad of other ingredients with which some people like to adulterate it "to make it different". I agree with her wholeheartedly. This doesn't need anything else; just season it well with the salt, pepper, lemon, and olive oil. -- posted by Toby Jermain

Hummus (Gramma's Mom's Recipe)

Wed, 13 Aug 2003 20:05:58 -0400

This is the recipe that my Lebanese grandmother made. Thanks to modern conveniences like food processors, and canned garbanzos, its much quicker for me to make than it was for HER mother! Great with my Green Beans with Lamb! -- posted by Lightly Toasted

Kibbee bil Sineeyah (Baked Kibbee)

Thu, 21 Aug 2003 20:05:26 -0400

This is a baked lamb or beef dish ofter served as part of a Lebanese meza appetizer assortment. It is only a slight variation of my dad's recipe. I hope someone out there enjoys this recipe, since it has taken 3 tries to get it posted. Preparation time does not include time needed to prepare Kibbee Nyi (Raw Kibbee) #66667, which is a separate recipe. -- posted by Toby Jermain

Spinach-Garlic-Edamame Hummus

Thu, 20 Nov 2003 20:00:44 -0500

Whipped this up tonight since we have been a bit vegetable deficient lately. I LOVE hummus, as does my fiancé, so I thought this would be perfect. It turned out really well. This is based on my Lebanese friend's recipe for hummus--she is religious about hummus and tabbouleh, so I know I have the basic recipe down pat!! :-) Be sure to adjust anything you want; it is possible to make hummus more low in fat by reducing the amount of tahini or olive oil you add, and if you hate edamame, then omit it. Just make it up with water, stock, or the liquid from the can of garbanzo beans. IT occurs to me that this would be perfect for St Patrick's Day....it's completely green, with all the spinach and edamame. -- posted by spatchcock

Baba Ghanoush (Roasted Eggplant (Aubergine) Dip)

Thu, 24 Aug 2006 19:49:57 -0400

Baba Ghanoush is a dip similar to hummus made from eggplant. I discovered it when I was looking for a recipe to use up leftover eggplant. It's so different and SO good! -- posted by herby

Zankou Chicken's Lebanese Garlic Sauce (Copycat)

Tue, 05 Dec 2006 18:10:29 -0500

The BEST garlic sauce on the planet can be found at Zankou's Chicken. Those who know this place know their recipe is a very closely-guarded secret. Serve with a Lebanese (or other Mediterranean) chicken (or beef) dish like Recipe #127262. Also great with chicken or beef shawarma. I lined pita shells with this sauce and loaded them up with chicken, lettuce, tomato and roasted peppers and onions. Just make sure you aren't coming face to face with anyone for the next month or so... WHEW! Garlic! -- posted by Sandi (From CA)

Lebanese Tuna Tahini Salad

Mon, 23 Apr 2007 22:26:32 -0400

I've recently discovered tahini and absolutely love it! In this healther adaptation of tuna salad, tahini replaces mayonnaise as the emulsifier and adds unique flavor along with the Middle Eastern spices. I like to add apples to my tuna salad for a contrasting sweet, tart flavor. -- posted by poo235

Almost Hummus

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 00:15:39 -0500

Not the way I've been taught to make it, but it's wonderfully flavorful. I use canned garbanzo beans, because it is much faster than using the dried ones, which must soak for a bit before cooking. If you do use dried beans, follow the cooking directions for them as usual, but make sure you rinse them! Otherwise a very odd texture develops in this dip that may not be pleasant to all. Reduce amount of salt, and it's very mellow. Can be served warm with pita chips, cold with vegetables, and also as a sandwich spread the next day. -- posted by not-a-shrimp
