Crispy oven-baked Lebanese pastries filled with spinach, onions, fresh herbs, lemon juice, and tangy sumac for a lighter take on traditional sambousek.
A TASTE OF TRADITION
Sambousek is one of those Lebanese pastries that feels equally at home on a festive mezze table and in an everyday family kitchen. The little half-moon pastries are all about contrast: a thin, golden shell gives way to a soft, intensely savory filling scented with lemon, herbs, and sumac. With spinach at the center, the filling tastes fresh and bright rather than heavy, making these pastries particularly inviting when served warm from the oven.
