Did you know? Stews are referred to as "yakhni" in Arabic.

Why You’ll Love These Lebanese Stews

  • Super comforting and satisfying, these are foods that I grew up on (I am of Lebanese heritage). They are packed with good nutrition and are authentically Lebanese and adapted to suit a vegan diet.
  • A great way to economically fill up the entire family, stews are loved by adults and kids.
  • The ultimate soul food that is perfect for warming up
  • Simple homestyle cooking with maximum flavors
  • Practical, most are chop and drop, making them ideal for weeknight dinners
  • Diverse in flavors. A great use of spices, fresh vegetables, herbs and leafy greens
  • Ranging from popular stews such as stewed peas to the not so known, potato stew which I'll never say no to!
  • These stews are great as leftovers, making them ideal for big batch cooking. Great for next day lunches.

Serving Suggestions

Most of these stews are typically served with vermicelli rice.

Some are served with vermicelli bulgur pilaf, some are enjoyed with pita bread.

Or try them with mashed potatoes or your favorite cooked base of grain.
