The Levant's beloved dip done right: chickpeas cooked until falling-apart soft, blended with a generous amount of good tahini, lemon, and garlic into something impossibly silky. Pooled with olive oil and eaten warm with bread.

Tabbouleh — Levantine Parsley & Bulgur Salad
The bright green herb salad of the Levant — and, crucially, mostly parsley. Finely chopped flat-leaf parsley and mint are tossed with a little fine bulgur, diced tomato, lemon juice and good olive oil. Fresh, zingy and herbaceous, it's a mezze cornerstone scooped up with crisp lettuce or romaine.

Baba Ganoush — Smoky Eggplant Dip
The smoky sibling of hummus: whole eggplants charred over an open flame until the flesh collapses and tastes of smoke, then mashed with tahini, lemon, garlic and good olive oil. Silky, smoky and tangy, it's a mezze cornerstone scooped up with warm pita. The whole dish lives or dies on properly charring the eggplant.

Fattoush — Levantine Bread Salad
The Levant's vibrant bread salad: crisp shards of toasted or fried pita tossed at the last minute through crunchy cucumber, tomato, radish, herbs and crisp lettuce, all dressed in a tangy lemon-and-sumac dressing brightened with pomegranate molasses. Sour, herby and refreshing — a mezze-table staple that turns stale flatbread into something irresistible.
