Some have seen Mounir's feasts before. Few have asked for more.
I am happy to experience Mounir again upon landing in Lebanon.
Today's meal was a mid-day snack - yes, this is considered just a snack at Mounir.
The snack began with Labneh (thickened yogurt) along a selection of olives.
In Lebanon, olives come in one size and type only but in two colours - green and black.
Halloum grilled in pita followed (a.k.a. Halloum Sails).
Then came chicken liver made in a way I am going to attempt.
They are cut in small pieces and fried in a bit of olive oil.
And finally (it is a snack after all) was a humongous piece of baked kebbeh.
It is stuffed with heavy ghee style material and sumaq.
Delicious with some humus or baba ghanouj, made with just a touch of garlic and smooth as cream.
Dessert was simply a selection of fresh and jammed dates - by then I had tummy space for only one of each.
