For years, my Lebanese friend and I argued over what sayadieh is because it has different visions across the Mediterranean. The Lebanese version was simply perfect to be made into a delicious bowl, so here’s a Lebanese-Inspired Sayadieh Bowl with flaky seared fish over spiced rice with caramelized onions and some roasted cauliflower on the side. A simple chopped salad adds zest, while a generous drizzle of tahini and plenty of fresh mint bring that unmistakable Lebanese freshness.
