Currently browsing: Middle Eastern
If you’re looking for that special something that ties together all the cuisine found in the Middle East you’ll have to look pretty hard, though the taste should stand out quite quickly. Sesame seeds, or more commonly tahini, is found all over the region. The rich history of the region has also led to the incorporation of rice, dumplings, turmeric, peppercorns, okra, tomatoes and phyllo into the cuisine. You won’t find much wine due to religious restrictions but you’ll be surrounded by delicious cups of sweet coffee.
