These 30 Middle Eastern recipes come from various regions and countries in the Middle East, including Iran, Israel, Turkey, Lebanon, Cyprus, and Egypt.

The region each dish comes from influences its flavor, but almost all of them are full of bold, exotic flavors, often featuring parsley, garlic powder, tahini sauce, or chickpeas.

Some of these are dishes you’ve probably heard of and enjoyed before, such as hummus, couscous, and falafel. Others, like Shakshuka, Zhoug, and Koshari, may be new to you.

Making good baklava is an art form, especially when it has 30 – yes, 30, and no, that’s not a typo – layers. This baklava is flaky, crispy, and supremely buttery.
