Kibbeh bil sanieh will bring every Lebanese into heavenly spheres. It is a classic of the Lebanese cuisine that has almost mythical proportions. And for a reason. The lamb mince pie is divine, but yes not vegan. This is a variant that makes a great side dish alongside one or two vegetable dishes. Light, nutritious and tasteful. And beautiful, too. And that’s what you want on your table, right?

Countless cauliflower haters have learned to appreciate cauliflower thanks to this dish. They openly declared this to me. They are overwhelmed by the deliciousness that cauliflower can bring. How great is that, right? The cauliflower is spicy, the eggplant is a wonderfully fresh counterpart and the tomato salsa brings everything together. It’s a surprising combination, but one that stays with you. In a very positive way, that is.

These green olives are very tasty with a sauce of grilled peppers and rose harissa. The pickled lemons top it off. Really a very nice addition to your mezze or just as an appetizer of course.

We all know tabouleh, but this is a great variation on the theme. A winter edition, in every way. The chosen vegetables, the chosen spices. Really worth a try. And this way also more a salad that you will also serve at dinner time.
