This episode guides viewers through making traditional Lebanese manta, a fragrant lamb and rice dish crowned with toasted pine nuts. Begin by simmering lamb with onions, bay leaves, and seven spices. Then cook rice in clarified lamb fat for depth. As the meat falls apart, drain and layer it over the rice. Finish with warm jamat sauce and pine nuts. Mansaf symbolizes Bedawin hospitality, a centuries old tradition of generosity and communal banquetss across Lebanon and the Levant. An old tale recalls travelers sharing Mansa by firesides as caravans cross deserts, turning simple meals into enduring stories.
