Come with me on my Lebanese mezze food adventure! My guide Nico and I would be heading to one of the best restaurants in the country for mezze, Mounir. Mounir has been in business since 1970 and offers hot and cold mezze. Everything they sell is farm-to-table, and they have the reputation of having the best mezze in the country! DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: https://teespring.com/stores/davids-been-here Inside, we met Fahim. I learned from him that they make their own arak! He took me into the kitchen, where I watched them bake saj bread in their oven, as well as a crepe-like wheat bread. Next, I watched some guys make some kafta and some grilled meat with some sauce and chilies! They added black pepper, salt, herbs, chilis, and spices to some ground lamb and mixed it well. You can eat it raw and grilled. They also made chicken thighs with marinade. Then, they took some marinated lamb chunks and grilled them. They also made some raw kibbeh with parsley, onions, and ground wheat. Then, they mixed up some tabbouleh with parsley, tomatoes, onions, lemon, and oil. They even add some lettuce. One of the cooks fed me some tabbouleh on the lettuce. It was so good! I also watched them make fresh hummus. They also grilled some onions and tomatoes on a skewers next to the chicken thighs and lamb kebabs. We’d have it with some spicy bread with parsley, onions, pepper, and more. They grilled it over the charcoal!
