Eastern Mediterranean Feast by Jad Fadl

Hello Food Lovers!

Following Paulinho's birthday lunch, we were invited to Jad's house for a festive Eastern Mediterranean dinner. Although we left Paulinho and Clemence's house on a very full stomach, it was impossible to resist Jad's food which took him about 24hrs to prepare!

Everything looked amazing from the dips, the starters, the salads, the meats and even dessert. This is one particular aspect of Mediterranean food which I love; the mixture of colors and flavors is really unique. All the ingredients he used were very fresh and very simple, yet sometimes the simplest foods combined make the best meals on earth! Some of the highlights included strained yogurt dip with cracked wheat, beetroot mutabbal with pomegranate seeds, barbecued leg of lamb with zaatar, sumac and pistachios and apricot muhallabia with rose water for dessert!
Jad is as passionate about food as we are and this is clearly reflected in his cooking, below a few snapshots – enjoy! (We certainly did)!
