FOOD
Sayadieh
A seasoned fish and rice dish from the Middle East, made with cumin and other spices, as well as fried onions; the spice mix is called baharat in Arabic and its preparation varies from cook to cook but may include caraway, cinnamon, cumin and coriander.
Balila
A traditional Levantine dish made up of warm chickpeas simmered with cumin, garlic, lemon and olive oil, served as hot mezze; “balila” comes from the Arabic word “balla” which means “to soak” or “wet,” which describes how the chickpeas are simmered in broth until soft and creamy.
Hanaini
