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 donโ€™t sell your birthright!

Gluten Free Sfeeha or Lahm Bi Ajeen โ€“ 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 โ€œPizzaโ€. 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 sonโ€™s favorite rice. He loves it so much that he asks me to make it often. Iโ€™ll have to admit, I like it a lot as well even though rice is not my most favorite food in the world.
