Kisir is basically a Turkish dish made up of bulgur wheat, buttery chickpeas,\u00a0assorted vegetables and fresh herbs. An ideal dish to make in bulk and serve as a side dish, or deadly lunch – Kisir is essentially a more filling tabbouleh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In addition to being delicious, it\u2019s super healthy,\u00a0high in both fibre\u00a0and protein, rich in vitamins and minerals and low in fat and calories. What more could you want?<\/p>\n

4. Labneh<\/h3>\n
In Lebanon and Syria, Labneh\u00a0is made by straining the liquid out of natural\u00a0yoghurt,\u00a0until it takes on a consistency similar to\u00a0soft cheese. It has a\u00a0tart, sour cream-esque taste,\u00a0or heavy strained yogurt and is used as\u00a0a common breakfast dip.<\/p>\n
It’s delicious, so easily made and\u00a0perfect eaten with olive oil, pita bread, and za’atar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
