  • About

This Lebanese bowl brings bold makanek, a cinnamon and warm spiced beef sausage in lamb casings, together with sweet roasted cauliflower. A side of crisp and tangy fattoush salad adds bright flavors with lemony sumac and crunchy pita. It’s a hearty, fragrant bowl that celebrates balance—smoky, tangy, and deeply satisfying.

Method

  1. Start by cooking the Rice with Vermicelli.
  2. For the cauliflower, toss the florets with the seasonings and olive oil. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake or air-fry at 400°F (200°C) until soft. Bake for
