Pairing Tabbouleh correctly — a note on Lebanese wine

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Tabbouleh. I ordered it with Lebanese wine and the fresh and citrusy elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. pine nuts in particular became more prominent in a good way.

the cuisine shares roots with the broader Levantine tradition. The a Middle Eastern restaurant abroad is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Tabbouleh with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
