Lentil Soup

Lentil Soup in a small bowl with a handle. The handle and the rim of the bowl are of a brown color. There is a white kitchen towel with beige stripes on its ends that's curving around the bowl over to the right corner. The lentil soup bowl is sitting over a cutting board. Grains of lentils are sprinkled over the board, and around the bowl.

This lentil soup recipe is thousands of years old. It is even mentioned in the Bible, the time when Esau sold his birthright to his brother Jacob for a bowl of lentil soup. Even though it is not the most famous dish in Lebanese cuisine, it has been famous in its own right all throughout history. I hope you will like it as much as Esau did, but don’t sell your birthright!

Rice With Vermicelli

Rice with vermicelli is served alongside many Lebanese dishes. This is a gluten free recipe, but you can also make it with regular vermicelli. I will be mentioning this recipe a lot. So you might want to keep a copy of it in an easily accessible place. This is my son’s favorite rice. He loves it so much that he asks me to make it often. I’ll have to admit, I like it a lot as well even though rice is not my most favorite food in the world.
