The Best Lebanese Foods To Try

Lebanese Food

Lebanese food is celebrated for its use of fresh, colourful and flavourful ingredients, often including a diverse selection of vegetables, grilled meats and herbs. If you need some inspiration for cooking the most delicious Lebanese dishes, you’re in the right place.

Five Lebanese Foods You Need To Try

  • Falafel: Falafel is a deep-fried sphere crafted from a blend of ground chickpeas, broad beans, or a combination of the two. Popular in Middle Eastern cuisine, falafel is extremely versatile and can be eaten both warm or cold.
  • Shawarma: This warming dish is a beloved street food in both Lebanon and the wider region, including thinly sliced, marinated meats layered and cooked on a vertical rotisserie. Once cooked, the meat is thinly shaved and typically eaten in a flatbread with vegetables and seasoning.
  • Kofta: Typically consisting of seasoned, ground meat (most often beef or lamb) mixed with spices and onions. The mixture is then shaped into small, elongated patties and usually barbecued on skewers or served in a gravy. If you’re considering bringing a flavour of Lebanon to your next BBQ, why not rustle up some kofta?
  • Hummus: Hummus is a popular Lebanese dip made from cooked and mashed chickpeas blended with tahini (sesame paste), garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. For hummus recipes, read on.
  • Fattoush: Said to have originated in Northern Lebanon, Lebanese farmers would save any leftover pita bread, and fry in olive oil to use up. These crouton-style fried bread pieces are then added to mixed greens, such as lettuce, cucumber, radishes, and tomatoes for a simple, zingy and vibrant Lebanese dish.

Lebanese Hummus Recipe: Three Twists on Classic Hummus Recipes

Hands up if you love hummus! Hummus is a staple in many Lebanese dishes, and while you can never go wrong with a traditional hummus recipe, new ingredients often make for an exciting twist on an old classic.
  1. Beetroot Hummus
    Blending in cooked beetroot using a food processor transforms traditional hummus into a bold and beautiful pink cream that tastes as good as it looks.
  2. Roasted Pepper Hummus
    Splash a generous amount of olive oil onto red peppers and cook them right under the broiler. Once cooked, chop up the peppers, toss with more oil, season with salt and pepper, and spoon directly onto ready-made traditional hummus.
  3. Avocado Hummus
    If you love guacamole, you’ll love this recipe – it perfectly combines Mexican and Lebanese flavours. In a food processor, mix the avocado with pre-made hummus. Add chilli flakes and a splash of lime juice for added flavour, then top with fresh cilantro for an extra touch of colour and freshness.
