In simple terms, Levantine cuisine (from Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan) is:<\/p>

  • Mediterranean <\/b>like Italian food<\/li>
  • Olive oil<\/b>\u2013based, with lots of vegetables<\/li>
  • Fresh herbs and spices<\/b> instead of heavy sauces<\/li>
  • Built around sharing <\/b>some larger and many small dishes (so-called mezze)<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    For an Italian, the closest comparison is:<\/p>

    Imagine antipasti taken much further<\/strong><\/p>

    Instead of one or two starters, you might have\u00a010\u201320 small dishes on the table<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Hummus<\/b>! The inspiration for our name and likely the most beloved dish coming out of the Levant. A sumptuous blend of chickpeas, tahini (sesame sauce), lemon and olive oil, best enjoyed with
    flatbread or crunchy Syrian chips.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Shawarma<\/strong>! Thin slices of marinated chicken slow-roasted on a vertical spit, then tucked into flatbread with crisp veggies and flavorful sauces.
    Think of it as the Middle East\u2019s answer to a loaded wrap\u2014juicy, savory, and packed\u00a0with bold spices.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Falafel!<\/strong> Golden, crispy balls made from ground chickpeas mixed with herbs and spices. Crunchy on the outside and fluffy inside.
    Either wrapped in a flatbread with sides, or on their own with a freshly made garlic sauce, they make for a very satisfying vegetarian bite.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
