Flavourful, healthy, and delicious…what’s not to love about Lebanese food?

Abundant in delicious ingredients and aromatic spices, Lebanese food has a (rightful) reputation as complex in flavour. You’d be wrong though, if you thought that means complex when it comes to making high-quality, fresh, and tasty Lebanese food at home -not if you shop at Leo Foods, that is! As one of the largest international food and drink -including Lebanese food and drink, suppliers on the Costa del Sol and across Spain and Portugal, Leo Foods can help you create all your favourite Lebanese meals or help inspire you to try something deliciously new!

Check out these go-to Lebanese dishes and how easy they can be to make at home with Leo Food’s cash and carry warehouse in Marbella or our online eShop for delivery anywhere in Spain or Portugal!

Baba ghanoush: Roasted aubergine blended with garlic, olive oil, tahini, and spices to create a dip that’s perfect for anything from breads to raw vegetables, or a spread that’s mouth-wateringly good on sandwiches, burgers, and more. You’ll need to pop into a local supermarket for fresh aubergines and parsley, but all the other essential ingredients of Heera garlic puree, Bedoya extra virgin olive oil, Dira lemon puree, Al Nakhil tahini, and Heera cumin powder are all available from Leo Foods.

Kibbeh: The national dish of Lebanon, kibbeh is a mix of bulgar wheat, lamb, pine nuts, and spices, typically served with mint leaves and cooked in a variety of ways (raw, baked, or fried). It’s easy to make, requires few ingredients, and only a quick stop at the butchers for fresh lamb mince on your way to Leo Foods to pick up Sofra bulgar wheat, ITAC pine nuts, Bedoya extra virgin olive oil,

Leo black pepper, Sofra Lebanese seven spices powder, and Pamir dried mint is needed to give you all the ingredients you need for this uniquely Lebanese dish.

Sfiha: An open-faced meat pie or “pizza” that’s rich in the Lebanese flavours of minced lamb, onions, tomatoes, and spices and served with tahini or yoghurt. To create this at home, simply make a simple yeast dough (add a teaspoon of anise seeds for extra flavour) and top it with Orlando tomato frito, minced lamb, a drizzle of 1&1 pomegranate paste, Al Nakhil tahini, coriander, ITAC pine nuts, and cucumber for a not just a beautifully-presented dish but one that tastes incredible, too!

Fattoush: The perfect summer salad, if you ask us! An array of fresh salad ingredients like lettuce, peppers, radish, onions, cucumbers, and parsley, all paired perfectly with Lebanese flavours of Sofra sumac, 1&1 pomegranate paste, and Pamir dried mint, taken to perfection with the addition of crispy Iggy’s pita bread that will keep you feeling satisfied in the warm Spanish sun.

Ma’amoul: Finish your Lebanese feast with a ma’amoul or two, traditional cookies filled with fruits and nuts. They pair perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee for an afternoon treat as you relax and enjoy the glorious sunshine and outdoor living that Spain and Portugal has to offer! Pick up Heera semolina, sugar, yeast, Heera flour, Khanum ghee, 1&1 rose water, ITAC dates, and Heera cinnamon powder to create melt-in-your mouth cookies studded with flavour and serve them warm, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and alongside Al Nakkar coffee or your favourite blend of Ahmad tea, all available from Leo Foods and Leo Foods online eShop.
