Lebanese Garlic Recipes

Lebanese food is fresh, herb-forward and built around the table of meze — bright with lemon, garlic and good olive oil. When Lebanese cooks work with garlic, they reach for olive oil, lemon, garlic, tahini, sumac and za'atar, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are simmering, frying, grilling and roasting.

The aromatic foundation of savoury cooking almost everywhere — pungent raw, sweet and mellow when cooked. In this collection it's most often cooked with onion, olive oil, tahini, fine sea salt, lemon juice and flatbread. The dishes here span lebanese classics ready in as little as 10 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.
