Tabbouleh Salad
|
Tabbouleh is predominant in most middle eastern dishes either hot or cold. The bulgar wheat is cooked by pouring over hot water and leaving to stand. Once cold, it is mixed with tomatoes, cucumber, mint, parsley, garlic and diced onions and plenty of seasoning. In some restaurants it is also served with goats cheese, cubed, and sprinkled over the top. A very filling and delicious salad with fresh lemon juice squeezed into give it a touch of acidity.

Baba Ganoush
|
Probably the most famous of Lebanese dishes, and eaten in many eastern countries, baba ganough is predominantly aubergine or egg plant, mashed with tahini paste, garlic, coriander and paprika to create a wonderful filling dip. It can be served on its own as a starter or part of a middle eastern spread or mezze. It almost certainly comes with olives and pitta bread or flat bread. A lovely tasting strong flavoured dip that makes you want to go back for more!

Pastries
|
Lebanon is famous for delicious sweet pastries, using a lot of honey, nuts and dried fruits. Probably the most famous are baklava and mammoul cookies, served with deep and rich Lebanese or Turkish coffee after a meal. Baklava is virtually the same as the Greek version, doused in very sweet honey syrup with nuts and dried fruits encased in pastry.

Roast Dinner
|
Not all Charcoal chicken stores will offer a roast dinner, but most will. It's a good choice when you don't want to have anything fried. Choose from Beef, Chicken or Pork add some potatoes, pumpkin, peas, carrot and gravy. If you skip the crackling it's a slightly more healthy alternative for fast food.

Coffee
|
Lebanese coffee is very similar to Turkish coffee in its strength and method of serving. Usually accompanied by small sweet pastries or biscuits, it should only be sipped, due to the way it is made, leaving the ground coffee at the bottom of the cup – quite bitter if you take a mouthful!
