[Beef + Lamb] Kebab Hindi كباب هندي
Levantine cuisine has no shortage of kebabs – as Islamic culture spread across the world it brought with it many dishes, and brought back many inspirations and influences. So it comes as no surprise that there are countless kebab dishes in India, nor that Indian culinary ideas have also filtered back through to the Middle East. Kebab Hindi, or “Indian-Style Kebab”, is a long-standing traditional Syrian favourite, even as cooking meat in a tomato and onion-based reduction is a common Indian technique. This dish features skewers of a combination of halal ground beef and lamb garnished with pine nuts and parsley, and is served alongside Rez bel Shairieh (rice with vermicelli) .
[Veggie] Fasolia bel Zait فاصولية بالزيت

Asawar El Sit (سوار الست)

Newcomer Kitchen is a new project that invites groups of Syrian newcomer women to use our kitchen to cook traditional Syrian dishes in a fun, social setting. Meals are prepared and packaged, and then sold online for pickup or delivery to pay for all the ingredients and provide a source of revenue for the cooks.
We also offer “Guest Cook” spots on Wednesdays where you can help & hang out in the kitchen, learn the recipes and join the ladies for family meal. These can now be booked via AirBnB Experiences.
Proceeds from the sale of meals goes directly to the newcomer cooks. However this does not cover the costs of the enormous amount of behind-the-scenes coordination required to keep this project going. You can support the Newcomer Kitchen project directly and our vision of expanding this model to support more women in more neighbourhoods!
Help us take this idea into any restaurant kitchen, in any city in the world!
