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!

Gluten Free Sfeeha or Lahm Bi Ajeen – Gluten Free Mediterranean Meat Pies

These meat pies are one of the most famous food items in Lebanon. As a child, they were my favorite type of “Pizza”. I still have fond memories of this one time when my father took me and my mom with him to Jbail and got us the most amazing meat pies that I have ever had from this little tiny shop by the side of the road. Ever since I was determined to achieve the same taste that my memories always take me to whenever I think of meat pies. I believe that I came pretty close to the taste. The secret is in the meat mixture, and the exciting thing is that these ones are gluten-free.
