Lebanese Recipes for the Mediterranean Diet

Fatteh is a beloved dish in Lebanon, and every family makes it a little differently.
Traditionally, Fatteh is known for its generous use of clarified butter – making it quite a rich dish.
In my family, we’ve developed a lighter version over generations, one that’s based on pure olive oil.

Köfte is a classic in Lebanese cuisine – robustly seasoned, aromatic, and full of flavor.
In our Honeydew kitchen, this dish takes on a fresh, healthy twist:
Instead of butter or fat, it’s oven-baked with authentic, cold-pressed olive oil and refined with a creamy tahini sauce made from sumac and lemon juice.

The result is a rich yet light dish – perfect for cozy evenings and fans of the Mediterranean diet.

Our Zaatar puff pastry pie is the perfect fusion of Lebanese aromas and hearty German comfort food.
The filling combines caramelized onions, mushrooms, and authentic Honeydew Zaatar with creamy mascarpone and tomato pesto – plus tenderly seasoned chicken breast and mildly aromatic rock salt cheese.

A Mediterranean-German comfort dish that satisfies, warms, and evokes sunny evenings with every bite.

Perfect for shared meals, brunches, or whenever you want to serve something special to your guests.

Lebanese falafel are a small miracle: deeply crispy on the outside, soft and herb-green on the inside.

In Germany, falafel like these are almost impossible to find — especially not in döner shops, where quick mixes replace true tradition.

This recipe brings you the real flavour you normally only taste in family kitchens in Lebanon: fresh, honest and full of soul.
