The story behind
Hey! Let me tell you, the first time I tried these was at a tiny stall in the Levant and I was hooked instantly. They're just the best for a chill weekend lunch. Think about it: crunchy bread on the outside and incredibly juicy meat on the inside. I always serve them with a side of cool yogurt sauce and a big glass of mint lemonade. It’s one of those dishes that makes you feel like you're right there in a Beirut market, enjoying something truly authentic.
