Warak Arish

Warak Arish — grape vine leaves hand-rolled one by one around a filling of short-grain rice, minced lamb, tomatoes, and aromatic herbs — is Lebanon's most celebrated stuffed dish. The rolls are packed tightly in a pot and slow-simmered until the leaves are silky-tangy and the rice has absorbed every nuance of the fragrant cooking liquid.

Made to order by Mirna in Fanar, delivering to Metn, Jounieh, and Beirut. Traditionally served warm with plain yoghurt. Each tanjara serves 4–5 people.
