    Main Dishes

    It's time for the star of the show, the main dish. Whether you want to wow your guests with a beef, chicken, or rice main dish recipe, you'll find plenty of options for your table!

    You can't go wrong with Middle Eastern classics such as Maqluba, Iraqi Dolma, Chicken Machboos or Bechamel Pasta Bake. Looking for something hearty to serve with the staple rice with vermicelli? Try a stew recipe such as Fasolia Yabsa or Okra Stew. Need a quick and easy recipe? Check out my go-tos for a fast meal for my family (perfect for weeknight dinners!), including Kafta Kabob, Shish Tawook, Arayes, or Honey Za'atar Chicken.
