Over rice
The classic pairing is Lebanese Rice, with the sauce soaking in.
Bassilai
Sweet peas in tomato sauce
Green peas cooked down in a savory tomato sauce: a homestyle Lebanese stew that is quick to love and easy to serve.
Bassilai is a Lebanese weeknight favorite, the stew children grow up asking for. Spooned over rice it makes a complete, colorful plate, and it is a simple vegetarian option for menus and family-style catering.
