Lebanese cuisine is so deeply integrated into Saudi cuisine that a spread is just not complete without a Lebanese dish or two. Kammouneh is a Lebanese cumin-based seasoning – a very light and delicate blend of spices – that goes on anything and everything. It’s ideal for sprinkling on salads, soups, sandwiches, roasted meat, vegetables and even on baked desserts, or stir it into olive oil and use as a drizzle.
