Maybe FOOD in Lebanon is the most thing we enjoy (after family time for sure).

But I really miss my  kitchen and kids need to have homemade meals.

So here is the first recipe for 2021, 

“Bulgur B Dfin”

An authentic Lebanese dish, made of bulgur, chickpeas, onions and meat chunks with a pinch of cinnamon. It brings a lot of childhood memories, especially at my grandparents home. Some people call it “Moghrabiye kezzebe” or fake moghrabiye, since they have  almost the same flavors.

P.S: You can skip the meat and make it vegan.

Ingredients

• 2 cups bulgur

• 2 cups boiled chickpeas

• 500g small onions

• 500g lamb chunks

• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 2.5 cups meat & onion stock

• salt (as desired)

Directions

1. Start by boiling the meat.

2. Peel onions, sauté and boil them.

3. Sauté chickpeas with a Tablespoon of vegetable oil, add bulgur (very well washed), cinnamon and salt.

4. Few minutes later, add meat and onions stock, bring to boil, cover and let it cook on low heat.

5. Serve with a side salad and yogurt.

 Enjoy 🙂
