Lebanese Maamoul with Dates and Walnuts
Maamoul is an iconic pastry from the Levant, often served during religious or family celebrations. Its semolina shortcrust hides a fragrant filling of dates, walnuts, or pistachios – a true delight for fans of Middle Eastern sweets. By making these cookies at home, you recreate the atmosphere of Beirut's souks, where every bite evokes generosity and ancestral know-how. If you're wondering what typical Lebanese dishes are, know that mezze (hummus, tabbouleh, fatayer) and desserts like maamoul are its pillars. And for an authentic fattoush salad, don't forget the sumac and toasted pita bread!
