Must-haves that Lebanese catering services in Sydney provide:

Mezze

Every Lebanese meal starts with mezze, a selection of small, flavourful dishes served as starters. Mezze is an essential component of any Lebanese catering menu.

1. Hommos: Creamy, silky, and rich in flavour, hommos is a beloved Lebanese dip made from chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil.
2. Baba Ghannouj: Another dip, baba ghannouj, is made from roasted eggplant, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic.
3. Tabbouli: a refreshing salad from finely chopped parsley, tomatoes, mint, onions, and bulgur wheat. Tabbouli is dressed with olive oil and lemon juice.
4. Falafel: These deep-fried balls or patties made from ground chickpeas or fava beans are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
5. Kibbeh: A delicious blend of minced meat (lamb) and bulgur wheat, kibbeh can be shaped into balls or patties and fried to a golden brown.

Main Course

While mezze is an experience, the main course in Lebanese catering menus is equally impressive.

1. Shawarma: It is made by marinating slices of meat (either lamb or chicken) in a flavourful blend of spices. These cuts of the cooked meat are served with pita bread with grilled tomato, grilled onion, tahini sauce, garlic dip and chilli bread.
2. Kafta: Known for their juiciness and flavour, this dish is grilled to perfection. The skewers of kafta are chargrilled minced lamb mixed with parsley, onion and mixed spices, served with grilled tomato and onion, tahini sauce and chilli bread.
3. Kousa (stuffed zucchini): Lebanese cuisine excels at creating stuffed vegetables, especially the delicious kousa (stuffed zucchini). Grey zucchinis filled with rice, ground meat, and spices, and cooked in rich, tomato sauce.
4. Samki Beirutiyeh: A Lebanese recipe with a fresh, contemporary twist using Australian seared barramundi fillet. This dish is topped with spicy tomato salsa and roasted mixed nuts.

Sweet Endings

No Lebanese meal is complete without indulging in some delectable desserts.
