Mutabal Kousa ( متبل كوسا)
A delicious meze dip that manages to be both light and rich at the same time. Lightly cooked shredded zucchini is mixed with tahini, yogurt, and garlic, then garnished with parsley, walnuts and olive oil. Served with crispy pita chips, brushed with olive oil and dusted with thyme, red pepper and sumac.
Ouzi (أوزي)
A decadent and luxurious meat pie from Damascus, ouzi combines a filling of spiced halal ground beef, short-grained “Egyptian” rice, and green peas with almonds and cashews, all wrapped in a buttery phyllo pastry shell and baked until crispy and golden.
Also available #vegetarian stuffed with spiced rice, carrots, peas and nuts.
Served with Keyar bil Laban (خيار باللبن)
A traditional middle eastern cucumber salad, similar to Greek tzatziki, this combines cool yogurt with garlic and cucumbers, but the addition of mint makes for an especially delightful and refreshing salad.
Mahalabia مهلبية
A delicate, creamy milk pudding scented with mastic, a aromatic resin popular in middle eastern desserts, and garnished with crumbled pistachios.
