How Lebanese cuisine cooks with vegetables

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 vegetables, they reach for olive oil, lemon, garlic, tahini, sumac and za'atar, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are simmering and baking.

The backbone of balanced cooking — bringing colour, texture, fibre and the bulk of a dish's micronutrients. In this collection it's most often cooked with onion, garlic, dried herbs, flatbread dough, olive oil and fine sea salt. The dishes here span lebanese classics ready in as little as 20 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.

6 Lebanese Vegetables Recipes

Choosing & preparing vegetables

How to choose

Shop seasonally for the best flavour and price; look for firm, unblemished produce with vivid colour. Heavier-feeling vegetables are usually fresher and juicier.

Prep & storage

Cut pieces to a uniform size so they cook evenly. High-heat roasting and quick stir-frying preserve more texture and nutrients than long boiling.

Nutrition

A low-calorie, high-fibre source of vitamins A and C, potassium and antioxidants — aim for a range of colours on the plate.

Classic flavour partners: garlic, olive oil, lemon, chilli, herbs, parmesan
