Lentil Soup

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.

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.
