LEBANESE/SYRIAN BAZELLA

Web

Lebanese/Syrian Bazella image

After having lived in Syria for the past year for school, I learned how to make several authentic dishes. They will probably taste different outside the Middle East due to the availability of items seasonally and brands of ingredients used. This dish is a blend of carrots, peas and meat in a tomato-based broth that is served with Middle Eastern-style rice. Arabs are used to having family over--it's a family based culture--so it's meant to be shared.

Categories Stew

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients:

1 (16 ounce) bag frozen peas, any brand. Can also use good quality dry peas as well
1 large onion
1 (16 ounce) bag carrots, whole, not baby carrots
3 tablespoons tomato paste (Durra in the Middle East, I use Contadina)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 lbs beef stew meat, cubed lamb may be used as well
salt and pepper, to taste
season salt (optional)
6 cups water, in 2-cup increments
2 beef bouillon cubes (Maggi in the Middle East, I use Wylers)

Steps:

Cut onion in to small pieces. Do not mince or chop too finely, but at the same time, do not cut or chop too coarsely. Set aside.
Wash carrots and cut them into 1/4" thick pieces. Basically, you don't want them too thin or they will disintegrate into the broth. You can peel them if you prefer, before cutting. Set aside.
In a large frying pan, brown the meat with some seasoning salt and pepper. Add the onion and some olive oil from the bottle. Make sure all the meat is brown. Set aside.
In a stew pan, fry the 3 tbsp of tomato paste in the 1/4 cup olive oil for about 5-8 minutes. If it seems dry-looking, add a small amount of extra oil at a time. It should look chunky in the oil, not runny like soup. Stir constantly, it will burn very fast!
Reduce the heat, add first 2 cups of water. Stand back, it may spit at you! Keep adding until all 6 cups have been added. Add the soup cubes. Let this boil for 5 minutes. Scrape the bottom of the pan, making sure all of the tomato paste mixes in the water.
Add the meat, carrots and peas. Allow to come to a boil (takes about 5 minutes) then reduce heat to a simmer. Add salt and pepper to your taste. Cook until meat is tender. Cooking time depends on the quality of meat.
Serve with Middle Eastern rice.
Extra water may be added to counter-act any saltiness or if too much evaporated out while cooking.
Cooking times may vary depending on stove type. Just keep on eye on it and never walk away from cooking food! Stainless steel or a non-stick pan may be used. I prefer non-stick. This may also be transferred to a large crock pot and set on low. Yield depends on how much water is allowed to boil out, but pretty much it makes a lot! Count on leftovers if you're not having people over.

25 AUTHENTIC LEBANESE RECIPES - INSANELY GOOD

Lebanese Cucumber Yogurt Sauce. This versatile sauce is a must if you’re having a BBQ, hosting a potluck, or just need something on the side to give your meal that extra zing.
Bamia (Lebanese Okra Stew) Okra is simmered in a tomato-rich broth to create this fragrant stew. This spicy-sweet mix is a flavorful veggie meal that is generally served with rice but would also work with pita bread.
Lebanese Lentil Soup. Another unique pick for those meatless Monday meals, Lebanese lentil stew has zero meat but plenty of flavor. Want to save this recipe?
Hummus. Hummus is a Middle Eastern classic for a reason. Smooth, creamy, and with a uniquely rich taste, it’s a frequent addition to dinner tables across Lebanon.
Lebanese Chickpea Stew. Lebanese cooks love chickpeas. And who can blame them? This protein-rich legume adds both bulk and taste to a whole range of meals.
Lebanese Spinach Stew. Spinach is one of the best greens out there. It’s rich in folate, iron, calcium, and vitamins A, C, and K. If you want all those amazing nutrients, but aren’t a big fan of eating your greens, sneak them into this delightful dish.
Tabbouleh. Tabbouleh is fun to say, and even more fun to eat. It’s a fresh salad made from chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, and bulgur. Oh and plenty of parsley.
Baba Ganoush. Some people are team hummus and some are team baba ganoush. I say, why pick when both are equally tasty!? Baba ganoush is like hummus’ smokier, earthier cousin.
Lebanese Chicken Shawarma. Shawarma is one of the best things about Middle Eastern cooking. Why? Because this method cooks meat long and slow, adding unique spices to give you smoky, tender, melt-in-the-mouth meat.
Pita Chips. If you’ve succumbed to temptation and made huge bowls of hummus or baba ganoush (or both!) , you’ll need something to eat them with. Enter pita chips.

30 BEST LEBANESE FOODS (WITH PICTURES!) - CHEF'S PENCIL

2023-03-23

From chefspencil.com

Manakish. Manakish is the staple and most popular Lebanese breakfast for when you are on the go. It is a piece of dough rolled out into a circle and stuffed with cheese, za’atar, meat, keshek (fermented yogurt with tomato paste and sesame seedss), and many other ingredients in endless combinations.
Foul Mdammas. Foul mdammas and balila are the main course of the Lebanese breakfast spread. Foul is cooked fava beans with lemon, cumin, and olive oil as the main flavors.
Balila. Balila is similar to foul but prepared with steamed chickpeas instead. It is served with the same sides as foul. Some people even mix both foul and balila.
Labneh. You go to the local grocery store and buy labneh, milk, and eggs. It is an ingredient that is always in stock in any home. It is a form of strained yogurt that is served as a dip or spread, which is part of a typical Lebanese breakfast.
Eggs. These are not your typical eggs. Lebanese spreads include a variety of eggs served with the Lebanese touch. These eggs are usually served sunny side up in a fokhar (clay) frying pan fried with olive oil and seasoned with salt, pepper, and sumac.
Kawarma. Traditional eggs are also made with kawarma, which is preserved lamb meat in its fat. In the fokhar frying pan, the meat is scooped out when the fat has melted from it.
Knafe. Knafe is usually prepared in large trays layered with Akkawi cheese on the bottom and topped with semolina dough or phyllo dough. It is then soaked with kater (syrup flavored with rose water).
Grill Mix. Also known as “mashewe”, this is the star of every Sunday family lunch. It consists of kebabs made from chicken (taouk) and kafta kebab. It is usually prepared on a charcoal grill, where some also add vegetables such as zucchini and eggplants.
Lebanese Hummus. The most famous Lebanese mezza is the hummus dip that is made from pureed chickpeas mixed with lemon juice and tahini. This delicious dip is topped with olive oil, roasted pine nuts, and sometimes meat cooked with pomegranate molasses.
Fattouch. Fattouch is a Lebanese salad that has a base of lettuce, radish, thyme leaves, green pepper, tomatoes, and cucumbers. What makes it special is the sauce that is made with lemon, oil, sumac, and pomegranate molasses.
