In 2018, we traveled to Jerusalem explore the history of healing from the Biblical perspective and the use of aromatherapy such as essential oils and resins. During our trip, we had an opportunity to explore Mediterranean and “sunny” dishes, Mizrahi cuisine is often light, with an emphasis on salads, stuffed vegetables and vine leaves, olive oil, lentils, fresh and dried fruits, herbs and nuts, and chickpeas. Meat dishes often make use of lamb or ground beef..
Mediterranean dishes offer bread, herbs spices, olive oils, vegetables, chickpeas, and hummus, Its seasoning palettes are from exotic spices blends such as coriander, cloves, cumin, cinnamons, nutmeg, pepper, sesame seeds, and saffron, a staple in certain Mizrahi dishes.
Mizrahi cuisine is healthy and light. There are lots of salads, stuffed vegetables and vine leaves, olive oil, lentils, fresh and dried fruits, herbs and nuts, and chickpeas. Miizrahi dishes are often with lamb or ground beef. Grilling and slow cooking with using rice, and dried fruits such as apricots and prunes are often the way meal are prepared. Lemon and pomegranate juices can be found in their cooking and sauces such as hummus.
Bread is also part of Mediterranean cuisine. Also, you will find the spongy type of bread such as Lahoh from African regions and flatbreads such as pitas, laffa, and malawah. Starchy and pudding desserts such as hot sahlab are rich with spices, orchid flowers, and nuts. Another unique ingredient in Mediterranean desserts is Rosewater.
