November 22: Relish New Seafood Recipes this Lebanese Independence Day

Treat yourself to new flavor this Lebanese Independence Day! Lebanon was created under the French Mandate in 1920. After 23 years of living under French control, it became an independent nation under an unwritten agreement produced by prominent Christian and Muslim leaders. It embraced ideas of peaceful coexistence, ties with the West, and continued political and economic progress-all principles it continues to struggle with today.

Dishfolio food bloggers found Lebanese dishes featuring starches, whole grains, fruit, and fresh seafood. It uses olive oil primarily to bake, grill, or sauté and recipes depend on season.  There is a variety of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean elements in its food traditions with fish being the dominant animal protein. If you ever wanted to try seafood dishes with more of a Middle Eastern influence, these online food recipes offer you that chance. Have fun trying them today!
