~ Lebanese Veg ~

Lebanese recipes are a natural for fresh, delicious vegetarian (and vegan) eating. We eat meatless, dairy-free recipes often and love them. They fit squarely into my must-have checklist for the dishes we eat a lot of:

1. Healthy, Fresh, and Colorful

2. Easy to make

3. Full of flavor. a.k.a.: Delicious!

Please every type of eater at your table with a sheet pan of roasted Cauliflower Shawarma. Flavor, flavor, flavor, and this is just as good room temp as it is warm. Great as a side or main dish. Lebanese cuisine offers quite a repertoire of main dishes that require no meat to measure up. Stuffed koosa (or zucchini) in tomato broth is terrific with a bulgur-based stuffing (get the bulgur here). Kibbeh goes meatless with tomato as the foundation, a dish that is meant for none other than ripe summer tomatoes. Speaking of tomatoes, you'll want to try them roasted to concentrate they're flavor, topped with za'atar and generously oiled over a bowl of white beans. We add parmesan but that is easily left off.
