Tabouli inspo round 2 😍 This was at my cousin @ Tabouli inspo round 2 😍 This was at my cousin @ninaboutros39 for Christmas a couple years ago. It literally took up a fourth of the table. There’s no such thing as enough tabouli!! Fresh parsley, tomato, onion, fresh mint leaves, burghal, s + p, evoo, fresh squeezed lemon juice ❤️ I’ve even enjoyed it with salted peanuts, other times with pomegranate seeds 😍 Recipe on https://yourlebanon.com/salads/ (direct link in my IG bio)
Thanksgiving is a pretty big deal around here. My Thanksgiving is a pretty big deal around here. My mom hosts her entire family (all my parents’ siblings and their families + some cousins) annually. Each sibling makes a delicious entree 😍, traditional and Lebanese. It’s not going to be the same this year with everyone doing their own Thanksgiving but #priorities! #stayhealthy #LebaneseAbroad Here are a few photos from 3 previous Thanksgiving gatherings ❤️ Each spread is a little different but dad’s nayyeh spread is consistent each year😏 Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Dad’s Homemade ka’ak! Everything you love abou Dad’s Homemade ka’ak! Everything you love about these “Arabic biscuits” with a homemade touch. I love them in a bowl of warm milk. Who else does that 😍
A beautiful month celebrating a staple in our food A beautiful month celebrating a staple in our food and heritage, olive oil! Thank you @nadiatommalieh & @chefindisguise for hosting this campaign. Happy #oliveoil_day @olive_oil_day ❤️ #Repost @chefindisguise ・・・ We are celebrating olive oil day يوم زيت الزيتون Why are we celebrating it? . Through out the Levant (Palestine, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon) October through December is the olive picking/olive oil pressing season . . To understand the significance of this you have to know that olive oil not only plays a major role in our cuisine but it also plays a central role in the culture and history of the area and so does olive picking and everything related to those beautiful trees . . You see,olive picking, in this part of the world, is still a family affair. Something people look forward to and do as a community. Most people pick their olives by hand. It is a long and tiresome process but the quality of the oil is so much better with hand picking because using machines to pick olives bruises them while hand picking does not. Ladders, simple sticks and long days in the fields spent with friends, neighbors and family. Kids, youth and elderly all take part in the olive picking festivities. . Along with the olive picking rituals, stories and memories, traditionally farmers celebrated the long awaited freshly pressed olive oil  with a variety of recipes like curing olives, makdoos,oil preserved pantry items, olive oil bread (kaek bel zait), musakhan and many more. Recipes that allow that emerald green extra virgin olive oil to shine.
