A good Palestinian pantry does not need to be complicated at the beginning. Start with ingredients that unlock many dishes at once.
Start With These
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Sumac
- Za’atar
- Tahini
- Chickpeas and lentils
- Rice and bulgur
- Pita or taboon bread
- Parsley and mint
- Cinnamon, cumin, and cardamom
- Pomegranate molasses
With these ingredients, you can begin making hummus, fattoush, mujadara, musakhan-inspired chicken, labneh plates, and everyday breakfasts of bread, oil, and za’atar.
