Happy Easter 2012

My favourite part about Easter is the Lebanese food. I spend all year waiting to eat these:

Kabeb

Kabeb courtesy of my Aunt Randa. It’s like fried kibbeh but isn’t made with meat and it’s stuffed with onions, raisins, and nuts.

I devoured two for breakfast this morning.

My aunt also made us a big batch of makhlouta, a Lebanese bean soup with bulgur and little dough balls inside. That was my lunch this afternoon.

Another Easter favourite of mine is bukho (or m’jaddara) which is a lentil, rice, and caramelized onion dish which I made for Matt and I a few times already during Lent.

Easter is the best time of year for Lebanese food. : d

I hope everyone has a great Easter this weekend!


Oh, and happy birthday to my older sister Victoria who turns 29 today!

  • Happy Easter! That does look good – I have never had Lebanese food, I’m sure I am missing out!!

  • Happy Easter! I don’t think I’ve ever had REAL Kabeb…and it looks and sounds far too good to be missing out on :( Do you accept visitors in Canada? :)
