Fragrant long-grain rice gently toasted with broken vermicelli and simmered in savory broth until each grain is separate and tender. A simple, comforting Middle Eastern staple that pairs with everything from stews to grilled vegetables.

Buttery, tender shells give way to a warm, spiced date paste scented with orange blossom—each bite is a portable piece of Levantine hospitality. The dough rests briefly so the semolina softens, producing a delicate crumb that flakes when you press it open.
