Toum (or toumiya) is a vibrant, fluffy, dairy-free Middle Eastern garlic sauce from the Levant, essentially a garlic emulsion with a mayonnaise-like texture, made from just garlic, oil, salt, and lemon juice. 💝
I’m not sure if we have Lebanese restaurants in my area. I’m not super adventurous with restaurants, so I wouldn’t know lol

I’ve run out of hearts for you hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425 🤣🤣🤣
@Ailuraphilelove8tear9 I'm sooo hungry! We have this Mediterranean restaurant here that serves this! It comes with this good basmati rice and a nice salad! Sometimes I just get the build your own salad they have and I love it. I get to pick my basmati rice, mixed greens, pick all my toppings, meat, and sauces. This place is where I learned of couscous and Lebanese tebullah or however you spell it. I love hummus and pita bread. All of it. I'm just sooo hungry now thinking about this food! Now I don't know about falafel though, because the one time I had it-- it just wasn't for my taste buds. Everything else A+. 😂🤣 I need food!!!! 😋
@YourCaringConfidant Like i go crazy for all eastern food, but Occasionally feel salt less 😅 But those texture and the smell goes well to me 🤗.
Basmati rice Rice is Amazing one for biriyani, Have u tried biriyani before??
Harraq Osba'o
Harak Osbao is a hearty and spicy Lebanese dish made with lentils, rice, and caramelized onions. Served with a flavorful tomato-based sauce, it’s a comforting and nutritious meal perfect for any occasion.
https://cuisineatlas.com/middle-eastern-cuisine/lebanon/harak-osbao/
Harak osbao is a traditional lentil stew, particularly popular in the region of Damascus. It is made with lentils, pasta, tamarind, and pomegranate molasses, often flavored with garlic, onions, bay leaves, and cilantro. The dish's name translates to "he burned his finger," likely due to the irresistible temptation to eat it while it's still hot.
Harak osbao is typically garnished with fried pita bread, caramelized onions, and sometimes pomegranate seeds, adding layers of texture and flavor to this comforting meal.

@jesusredeemedme2425 Hummus is a popular Middle Eastern dip, spread, and savory dish made from cooked, mashed chickpeas (garbanzo beans) blended with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. 🤗
@jesusredeemedme2425 Mutabal (also spelled Moutabal, Moutabel, or Mutabbal) is a popular Middle Eastern smoky eggplant dip, commonly served as part of a meze (appetizer) platter. It is made from roasted, mashed eggplant blended with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and often yogurt for added creaminess. 
@jesusredeemedme2425 
Baba ganoush (or baba ghanouj) is a popular Levantine appetizer consisting of finely chopped or mashed roasted eggplant, olive oil, lemon juice, various seasonings, and tahini. It is known for its creamy texture and smoky flavor imparted by charring the eggplant over an open flame or under a broiler. 
@jesusredeemedme2425 
Labneh is a popular Middle Eastern strained yogurt "cheese" known for its thick, creamy texture and tangy flavor. It is created by removing the whey from plain yogurt, resulting in a product that is denser than Greek yogurt and similar in consistency to cream cheese. It is a staple in Levantine, Egyptian, and Arabian Peninsula cuisine, often served as a dip, spread, or breakfast item. 😋😋
I thought that was eggs when I first saw it lol
No wonder lol, i thought the same xD
@jesusredeemedme2425 
Tabbouleh, also transcribed tabouleh, tabbouli, tabouli, or taboulah, is a Levantine salad of finely chopped parsley, soaked bulgur, tomatoes, mint, and onion, seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and sweet pepper. Some variations add lettuce, or use semolina instead of bulgur.
@jesusredeemedme2425 Fattoush is a Levantine salad made from toasted or fried pieces of pita combined with mixed greens and other vegetables, such as radishes, cucumber and tomatoes. Fattoush is a common part of meals in communities in the Levant. 😋🤗
@Ailuraphilelove8tear9 Do you add any dressing or anything to it?
@mytwistedsoul Yeah, like extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic, and spices like sumac and dried mint, often with the addition of salt, and pepper 💝😋
@Ailuraphilelove8tear9 I've heard of sumac but didn't know it was a spice. Where I live there are staghorn sumac that grow wild. I don't know if it's the same thing. Going to have to check that out. Thanks! 😊
