For some home-cooked, organic Lebanese food, I headed yesterday to Auntie Salwa’s, where Auntie Salwa herself rotates in new fresh dishes every day…you can choose their dish of the day, or pick five different dishes to taste. Eating in their quaint little cafe, while sipping on some fresh-squeezed orange juice–is pure delight…

Perhaps my favorite Lebanese dish is Chicken Fatteh–a combination of chicken, yogurt, chickpeas, pinenuts and fried, shredded bread. So hop on a plane to try some for yourself, or just look up a recipe online and get cookin’–you won’t be disappointed!

And of course there’s always old stand-bys like hummus–served here with meat and pinenuts…

…and babaghanoush–which just can’t be beat. The food of Lebanon–just one more reason to get on a plane, and come see Lebanon for yourself!
