In participation with legal counsel, this blog has opted to explain the final outcome of tonight's air fried falafel. Some may suspect that Adam fucked it up. Clearly, he knows that the chickpeas have to be soaked before use: However, Adam overlooked the details as such. Despite the recipe's sites horrendous formatting, putting the informational notes after the recipe card, Adam did figure he could canned garbanzo beans because they are "pre-soaked". While, the recipe went on to explain "only use dried garbanzo beans" in a way after the actual recipe card in small font, it did not explain the reason for this (the canned ones are cooked and will make the falafel crumble hopelessly instead of forming cakes) an inexperienced cook would take this to be more dogma where an experienced cook might (incorrectly) assume they are capable enough to make off-book substitutions. In short, Adam quickly overthought. Thinking perhaps that a substitution would be fine. So legally, this blog is required to inform you that the original poster (Adam) did not catastrophically fuck up. He simply, made a cooking mistake, which ultimately ruined the structure and texture of the falafel.

(Qudst) 43-year-old Osama Qashoo, co-founded in 2001 the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), which is a group that uses nonviolent direct action to challenge and resist the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land. This organization paved the way for the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement four years later.
Qashoo now is an owner of two prominent pro-Palestine establishments in a bustling neighborhood in London, where he employs them to show all kinds of solidarity with Palestine. In 2023, he invented a new taste for Coca Cola which is more Palestinians called "Cola Gaza".
Nynke Brett, 53, who lives in Hackney, east London, discovered Cola Gaza while attending a cultural event at Palestine House. âItâs not as fizzy as Coke. Itâs smoother, easier on the palate,â she says. âAnd it tastes even better because youâre supporting Palestine."
Osama Qashoo runs two establishments packed with restaurants, bookstores and shops in London. He turns them into a hub with a message and a mission for Palestine. at the entrance of the eatery a doll dressed in a black and white keffiyeh scarf sits on a table with a sign above written in blood-colored ink: "Save the children" referring to the thousands of Palestinian children killed in Israeli war on Gaza over the past year. On several tables sit cherry red soda cans decorated wit the black, white and green stripes of the Palestinian flag, Arabic calligraphy and bordered by a pattern from the keffiey. It offers its drinkers an apartheid-free alternative as they boycott pro Isreal brands Above Hiba Express is Palestine House a multistorey gathering place for Palestinians and their supporters built in the style of a traditional Arabic house with stone walls and a central courtyard with a fountain. Hiba Express a fast food chain serves up Palestinian and Lebanese dishes of Halloumi cheese, chickpeas, falafel and others, made from Qashoo family recipes.

18 Plant-Based Protein Sources
Protein is often raised as a concern for people considering adopting a plant-based diet, and because weâve all been taught to associate protein primarily with red meat, this is not surprising.
It is estimated that most adults require a minimum of 56 grams of protein per day; youâre probably hitting that number now if youâre not in a calorie deficit. If youâre trying to lose weight and so are cutting calories then you may need to track your protein a little more closely, but 56 grams is very easy to hit without having to think about it.
It gets a bit more difficult if youâre very physically active, particularly if youâre engaged in regular endurance or strength training. There is a great deal of disagreement about precisely how much protein is ideal if youâre trying to build muscle, but 1g of protein per 1lb of bodyweight is very doable, which is the amount often recommended in bodybuilding circles. It is very achievable to hit even the upper end of protein requirement estimates using only plant-based foods, as demonstrated by the success of many vegan athletes. Listed below are particularly good options.

1) Lentils - Lentils are a cheap nutritional powerhouse, and provide about 17 grams of protein per cup. Theyâre also very flexible, you can have them as your main protein source of a meal, use them to substitute mince in a pasta dish, make burgers out of them, or put them in a stir fry or with rice and veg with some seasonings. They are cheap and convenient if you buy them canned, since theyâre ready to eat, though I would recommend at least warming them up.
2) Chickpeas - Chickpeas are a popular vegan staple, and itâs not hard to see why. At approximately 14.5 grams of protein per cup, theyâre nutrient-dense and very flexible. Use them to make hummus or falafel, as the main protein source of a curry, on their own with rice or worked into a salad. You can also just air fry/grill them with some oil and spices for a convenient, crunchy snack.
3) Oats - A cup of dry oats is around 11 grams of protein by itself. Making it with a cup of oat milk brings that up to 14 grams, throw in a tablespoon of peanut butter and youâre up to about 17.5 grams at breakfast, and all those ingredients are pretty cheap and very filling. You could add something like nuts or chia seeds as a topping to stretch that to well over 20 grams.
4) Nuts - Peanuts are 9.5 grams per ÂŒ cup, almonds are 7g, pistachios 6g, cashews 5g, hazelnuts 5g, brazil nuts 4.75g, walnuts 4.5g and pine nuts are 4.5g. You can buy 1kg bags of mixed nuts for a little bit cheaper and keep them in a jar for a healthy snack. I find it better to make your own mix, or buy a mixed bag that doesnât have peanuts in then add the peanuts later, as mixes that include peanuts tend to work out as less for your money. Peanut butter is also a cost-effective way to add protein to many snacks and meals.
5) Beans - Depending on the type, beans are anything from around 10-15 grams of protein per cup. Some are better than others, like kidney beans, but even your standard baked beans are high in protein and very good for you. Turn them into a chilli, have them on toast, on a jacket potato, turn them into a bean burger or make them the protein base of a salad or soup. Kidney, soy, and edamame beans are particularly good options.
6) Seitan - When cooked, seitan closely resembles to look and feel of meat. It is made of wheat gluten and has 25 grams of protein per 100 gram serving. It is not very widely available in supermarkets, but try your local Asian market, where it will usually be cheaper as well. Itâs a bit of a hassle, but you can also make your own at home, which is extremely cheap as itâs just wheat gluten, yeast, plant milk, miso, and spices.
7) Tofu/Tempeh - A staple in Asian cooking, donât be afraid to try this one. Think of it as doing all the same things chicken does in terms of recipes, it soaks up the flavour around it. It needs to be pressed before use, or you can avoid that by just freezing it, then thawing overnight when you want to use it. 100 grams of tofu (less than half a small block) contains about 12g grams of protein, depending on the type. Some tofu, like Naked TooFoo, is pre-pressed for you.
8) Soy Chunks - Soy chunks come in a pretty unappetizing form that looks a bit like dried dog food. Just soak them in lightly salted hot water or vegetable stock for 15 minutes and they'll come to life, behaving like faux chicken pieces. You can then just cook, fry or bake them as you would with any soy product or tofu. They're much like tofu in that they'll soak up whatever sauce you cook them in. They're extremely cheap, have an amazing shelf life, and are a whopping 50g of protein per 100g. This is what I use to make the equivalent of that 'chicken, broccoli, and rice' meal high-protein meal that bodybuilders love so much.
9) Faux Meats - Faux meats are an easy way to add a protein base to your meal, and have the advantage of serving the same function on a plate as the foods you were used to before you went vegan. A Beyond burger, for example, has 19g of protien per patty, though you can get much cheaper options that have a similar nutritional profile. Pair that with a wholemeal bun and something like brown rice/quinoa and vegetables and you can create a very high-protein meal.
10) Grains - All grains are good for protein, these include quinoa, spelt, brown/wild rice, teff, amaranth, and sorghum. They can range anywhere between 5 and 8 grams per 100 grams, and youâll usually be serving them with some sort of protein source. Theyâre also an excellent source of fibre and carbohydrates, which are also important for training and general health. Quinoa in particular provides all 22 essential amino acids.
11) Peas - Green peas are not mentioned much when it comes to high protein options, but a cup of cooked peas is a respectable 9 grams of protein, and itâs worth mentioning here because they tend to be used more as a side than main, so can be paired with other high protein options. Theyâre also very cheap, freeze well, and are easy to prepare.
12) Seeds - Just a tablespoon of chia seeds is nearly 3 grams of protein, and the seeds are so small and tasteless that you donât actually notice them in anything you put them in, making them an easy way to add protein to just about any meal. Theyâre pretty cheap to buy in large quantities, particularly good to replace eggs in baking, to add to bread flour, salads and oatmeal. Other high-protein seeds include pumpkin, sunflower, linseed, hempseeds, and buckwheat.
13) Bread - Bread may not immediately come to mind when youâre thinking about protein, but wholegrain/rye/spelt breads can be very high in protein, anywhere from 3g all the way up to around 10g per slice, particularly for seeded loaves. If you really want to turn bread into a high protein food, invest in a bread maker or bake it yourself, that way you can add nuts, seeds and oats yourself to up the nutritional value. Thatâs just the bread too, a hummus and falafel sandwich with a high protein bread can be very nutritionally dense.
14) Fruit and veg - Worth mentioning here, as theyâre something youâll need to consume to maintain a healthy diet anyway, and some options have moderate protein. The higher protein options include broccoli, spinach, asparagus, artichokes, potatoes, sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts, which all contain 4â5 grams of protein per cooked cup. Likewise, blueberries, guava, bananas and nectarines contain about 2-4 grams of protein per cup, as well as many other essential vitamins.
15) Nutritional Yeast - No vegan list is complete without mentioning it, itâs a vegan staple for its nutty, cheesy flavour, as well as being an easy source of vitamin B12. Itâs a complete protein that has 8 grams of protein per 16 grams serving, making it an easy way to add more protein to things like pizza, pasta dishes, or a jacket potato. Use it to make cheesy sauces, or just sprinkle it on anything youâd have previousy added parmesan cheese to.
16) Protein Bars - They tend to be on the expensive side, but there are a few plant-based options. Iâd recommend Misfit bars if you can get them online, theyâre low sugar, 15g of protein per bar, and you can buy them in variety packs of 40 which works out cheaper. Trek also has protein flapjack bars, they're less protein (8-9g) but are much cheaper in packs of 3 and frequently available at a discount. Check your local health stores for their own brand versions too, some are very good.
Most brands wonât be suitable as a daily option for many people given the price, but they're great for when you need something to sate your hunger on the go when you'd usually reach for a chocolate bar or junk food. You can also just make protein bars at home using nothing but oats, cinnamon, baking soda, a little maple/golden syrup, and a couple of scoops of plant-based protein powder.
17) Protein Powders - If you're trying to substantially increase your protein but don't want to eat high quantities of food, protein powder will help you out Even the cheaper powders are around 18g of protein per scoop, so a shake is an easy way to add more protein to your diet, or you can stir it into oatmeal to get most of your daily requirements over breakfast. Add some peanut butter, chia seeds, a banana, and some plant milk to a shake to make them tastier and more nutritionally dense. I use the vegan protein powder by Protein Works, because I like the taste and the high-quality protein sources they use. There are plenty of other good (and cheaper) options on the market, though.
18) Meal Replacement Powders - Some meal replacement shakes, like Huel Black, are around 40 grams of protein per serving (2 scoops) even when made with just water, providing a cheap and easy way to have a high protein and nutritious meal without any preparation or fuss. This is the one I use, but a lot of the diet and meal replacement shake options are vegan and are generally high in protein. If you're trying to just add protein then a protein shake will be more cost-effective, but as a high protein replacement for an actual meal, they are good to have around.

I've made these many times, they freeze well (reheat from frozen in a pan to eat immediately, or put them in a lunchbox in the morning and they'll be defrosted by lunchtime). I am considering adding a small can of cooked chickpeas next time to see if it binds them better. They do hold together, but are a bit fragile until they're cooked and cooled down a bit.
Served with crudités, tahini sauce for falafels and pomegranate molasses dressing for the vegetables
Pomegranate molasses dressing:
- 1/2 garlic oil
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses
- 2 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

The Authentic Taste of Arabic Food: A Delightful Experience

The Art of Preparing Arabic Food
Authentic Arabic food is deeply rooted in traditional cooking methods passed down through generations. Spices such as cumin, coriander, sumac, and zaâatar play a significant role in enhancing the flavors of various dishes.

How to Prepare Non Fried Snacks for Iftar Without Compromising on Taste
Iftar is a special time for breaking the fast during Ramadan, and it is often associated with indulgent treats. However, traditional deep-fried snacks can be heavy and unhealthy. The good news is that you can enjoy a delicious and wholesome Iftar without relying on fried foods. By choosing non fried snacks, you can maintain the spirit of Ramadan while embracing a healthier lifestyle. In this guide, we will explore various methods and recipes to prepare non fried snacks that are both nutritious and flavorful.

Why Choose Non Fried Snacks for Iftar?
Many people associate fried foods with Ramadan, but consuming too much fried food can lead to digestive discomfort, sluggishness, and unnecessary weight gain. Opting for non fried snacks allows you to enjoy Iftar while keeping your meals balanced and nourishing. Here are a few benefits:
Healthier Digestion: Avoiding excessive oil ensures that your digestive system remains light and active.
Sustained Energy: Nutrient-dense snacks provide long-lasting energy rather than quick sugar crashes.
Guilt Free Snacking: By choosing healthier alternatives, you can indulge without feeling guilty about excessive calories and fats.
Healthy Alternatives to Fried Snacks
Instead of deep-frying, try these healthier cooking methods:
1. Baking
Baked snacks are a fantastic alternative to fried ones. They offer a crispy texture with minimal oil, making them an excellent choice for Iftar.
Baked Samosas: Use whole wheat or phyllo dough and bake them instead of deep-frying. Fill them with a mixture of spiced potatoes, peas, and lentils.
Baked Falafel: Traditional falafels are deep-fried, but you can achieve the same crunch by baking them in the oven with a light spray of olive oil.
Baked Stuffed Bell Peppers: Fill bell peppers with a delicious mix of quinoa, chickpeas, and spices before baking them to perfection.
2. Air Frying
An air fryer is an excellent tool for making non fried snacks while retaining the crispiness. It uses hot air circulation, cutting down oil usage by nearly 80%.
Air Fried Pakoras: Chickpea-flour-coated vegetables turn golden and crispy in an air fryer.
Air Fried Spring Rolls: Use rice paper or whole wheat wrappers, stuff them with a veggie filling, and air fry them for a satisfying crunch.
3. Grilling & Roasting
Grilled and roasted snacks bring out the natural flavors of ingredients while reducing oil usage.
Grilled Paneer Tikka: Marinate paneer cubes in yogurt and spices, then grill for a smoky, flavorful treat.
Roasted Chickpeas: Season chickpeas with salt, pepper, and spices before roasting them in the oven for a crunchy, protein-rich snack.
4. Steaming
Steamed snacks are a great way to retain nutrients while offering a soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture.
Steamed Dhokla: This traditional Gujarati snack is light, fluffy, and packed with flavor.
Steamed Momos: Opt for whole wheat momos filled with spiced vegetables or chicken.

One of the secrets behind the health appeal of Lebanese food is its emphasis on fresh, wholesome ingredients. Think crisp vegetables, aromatic herbs, lean meats, and nutrient-rich legumes. The focus isnât just on feeding your hunger but nourishing your body.
Take tabbouleh, for example. This iconic salad is packed with parsley, which is loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Add some tomatoes, onions, and a dash of olive oil, and youâve got a dish thatâs as nutritious as it is delicious. And who could forget hummus? This creamy chickpea dip is high in protein and healthy fats, making it a guilt-free indulgence.
Why Lebanese Cuisine is a Healthier Choice
1. Rich in Plant-Based Goodness
Lebanese cuisine is a haven for plant-based eaters. Many dishes, such as falafel, baba ghanoush, and lentil-based soups, are vegetarian or vegan by default. These meals provide essential nutrients, fiber, and energy without relying on processed ingredients.
Itâs like Mother Nature herself wrote the recipe book!
2. Olive Oil: The Heart of Lebanese Cooking
If thereâs one ingredient thatâs the cornerstone of Lebanese cuisine, itâs olive oil. This liquid gold is renowned for its heart-healthy benefits, thanks to its monounsaturated fats and antioxidants. From drizzling over salads to enhancing dips like hummus and mutabbal, olive oil plays a vital role in adding flavor while keeping dishes healthy.
3. Grilled, Not Fried
Unlike some cuisines that rely heavily on frying, Lebanese food celebrates grilling. Kebabs, kafta, and chicken shawarma are all cooked to perfection over an open flame, preserving flavor without the excess fat.
A Perfect Fit for UAEâs Health-Conscious Food Scene
In the UAE, where a mix of traditional and global cuisines caters to a diverse population, Lebanese food stands out as a favorite among health enthusiasts. Whether youâre dining out or grabbing a quick bite, youâll find plenty of options that align with your wellness goals.
For those who love exploring different cuisines, many emirati restaurants in dubai even incorporate Lebanese-inspired dishes, making it easier to stick to healthy eating while enjoying variety.
Superfoods in Every Bite
Lebanese cuisine effortlessly incorporates ingredients often labeled as "superfoods." Here are a few examples:
Chickpeas: The star ingredient in hummus and falafel, chickpeas are a powerhouse of protein and fiber.
Garlic: A natural immune booster, garlic is a staple in many Lebanese marinades and sauces.
Sumac: This tangy spice, often sprinkled on salads and meats, is rich in antioxidants and adds a burst of flavor.
Portion Control: A Built-In Bonus
Another reason Lebanese food is ideal for health-conscious diners is the concept of mezze. Mezze are small, shareable plates that allow you to enjoy a variety of dishes without overindulging.
Instead of committing to a massive plate of one dish, you can savor a bit of everythingâfrom refreshing fattoush to hearty stuffed grape leaves. Itâs like a culinary treasure hunt on your plate!
Where to Find the Best Lebanese Cuisine in the UAE
The UAE is home to countless Lebanese eateries, but if youâre looking for an authentic, health-focused experience, Lebanese Restaurant UAE is a must-visit. Their menu offers a perfect balance of traditional flavors and wholesome ingredients, ensuring you can enjoy guilt-free dining.
If youâre exploring Dubaiâs food scene, some of the Best Lebanese Restaurants Dubai have to offer are perfect examples of how this cuisine caters to both flavor lovers and health enthusiasts.
The Mediterranean Diet Connection
Lebanese cuisine is a proud part of the Mediterranean diet, often hailed as one of the healthiest in the world. Its focus on fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats aligns perfectly with what doctors and nutritionists recommend.
And letâs not forget the spices! Herbs like mint, parsley, and coriander add flavor without the need for excess salt or artificial seasonings.
Final Thoughts: A Journey to Healthy Indulgence
Lebanese cuisine proves that eating healthy doesnât have to be boring. Itâs a celebration of vibrant flavors, fresh ingredients, and culinary traditions that prioritize wellness. Whether youâre looking for a quick mezze platter or a hearty grilled meat dish, Lebanese food offers something for everyone.
So, next time youâre in the UAE and craving a meal thatâs both delicious and nutritious, consider exploring the rich world of Lebanese cuisine. And for an unforgettable dining experience, donât miss Lebanese Restaurant UAE. Here, every dish tells a story of health, heritage, and irresistible flavor.
