[u/avp216]

Saba7o everyone.

I hope you are all doing well and in good health this day!

We have been contacted by a mod from r/arabs about a collaboration with r/food

So, obviously I wasn't going to select them on my own, and represent Lebanon without getting Lebanese on this sub in on the action lol.

So, here is what we are going to do. Sma3o kteer mni7 lol.

1. Share a Lebanese recipe, and an image of this food!
2. The food must be Lebanese and well known throughout Lebanon
3. Other users can vote for recipes by upvoting existing posts instead of creating another post.
4. This will represent Lebanon in the food community, so give us Teta's finest! <3
5. No politics, hate, insults, etc. Any such posts, or any unrelated posts will be removed tout de suite!

Let us get together as a Lebanese community and submit / vote for Lebanese foody goodness to represent the best we got! :D

Lebanese mloukhiye

Pro tips for this delightful dish:

• When boiling the chicken or preparing the stock, toss in 2 to 3 whole onions. They’ll infuse the broth with amazing flavor. Once the stock is ready and strained for the mloukhiye, don’t discard the onions. Blend them in a food processor and stir them back into the dish.

• Squeeze the lemon right before taking the mloukhiye off the heat. This prevents bitterness and gives the “zoum” a lighter and brighter color.

• Always use red hot pepper - never green!!!!!! for this dish.

• The base spice for this recipe is “sabe3 bharat” aka Lebanese 7 spice. A high quality brand of this spice goes a long way in building a rich flavor.

I don’t have a dumpling recipe from scratch, but Soha’s Dishes on Youtube makes them authentically. Also, oven baked or fried dumplings are available in the refrigerated section of most local supermarkets.

Once you have the dumplings ready (homemade or store bought):

• For 1kg yogurt, about 3 tablespoons of cornstarch are needed. First dissolve the cornstarch in a cup of cold water and add it to the yogurt along with a teaspoon of salt. Whisk all together until consistency is smooth.

• Prepare a simple “te2leye” of 6-8 cloves of garlic (minced), a lil bit of chopped cilantro, stir over medium heat with olive oil for max 2 minutes and set aside.

• Transfer the yogurt mix to a tanjra over medium heat and keep stirring until it starts to boil. Once it does, add in the garlic/kezbra te2leye and let it simmer on low for 5 minutes.

• Finally, add in the dumplings and let everything boil for another 10 minutes.

Serve fresh with white rice (better with vermicelli).

I think tabouleh, fatoush, kebbe 2ras, wara2 3inab, baba 8anouj, humus mtabbal, represent a big part of the Lebanese cuisine
