You can prepare this flavourful broad bean salad in minutes. It's tomatoes, onion and cucumber tossed with fresh parsley, lemon juice and olive oil. Makes a great, simple, side dish for traditional Middle Eastern meals.

A yummy Lebanese way of serving potatoes. These go great with chicken or meat.

Couscous salad with oranges and dates

Recipe by: Maggie Pannell

Be the first to review it!

Couscous makes a brilliant base for a quick salad, as it only needs a brief soaking in hot stock (or water). Here it is combined with chickpeas, dates, oranges and pistachios for a Middle Eastern-style vegetarian dish.

Fasoliyyeh Bi Z-Zayt (Syrian Runner Beans with Olive Oil)

Recipe by: TASNEEM

Reviews(4)

I learned how to make this while visiting my husband's family in Syria. It can be a healthy, fast and easy vegan main for lunch or dinner that is surprisingly filling when eaten with pitta bread. It is also a flavourful side dish.

Houmous with Spring Onions

Recipe by: Marie

Reviews(3)

If you only have one recipe for this wonderful dip, this is it. Everything goes into the food processor - chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, parsley and spring onion. Vary the flavour by adding a few chopped mint leaves, a little fresh ginger or dried chillies.

Recipe by: Jan Cutler

Bulghur wheat makes a tasty base for a fast salad. Here it is combined with herbs, olives, some al dente vegetables and crumbly feta cheese, all tossed in a spicy dressing. Great with iceberg lettuce and chunks of sesame-seed bread. Delicious!

A lower-fat form of traditional pilau rice is the ideal partner for a range of spicy dishes.

Quinoa Tabbouleh

Recipe by: syneva

Be the first to review it!

This tabbouleh recipe is different. Instead of using bulgur like traditional tabbouleh, this recipe uses quinoa. It is a grain that is available at health shops. It looks and tastes better than bulgur. My husband and I both love this and neither of us is vegetarian. It's a great meal for a hot summer day. The longer it sits the better it tastes.

Sultana Rice Pilaf

Recipe by: Annette

Be the first to review it!

The rice is cooked in chicken stock instead of water to enhance the flavour. Use vegetable stock if you're looking for a vegetarian side dish.
