I fell in love with Lebanese cuisine many years ago, when I went to a Lebanese restaurant for a work dinner... ever since then, I've always wanted to recreate those flavors and aromas in my own kitchen! 🌍 That's why I'm sharing this dish with you: because we can always learn from other cultures—diversity always brings richness and experience! ❤️ Thanks to my colleague Linda Labboun for the inspiration!

    Meanwhile, wash the lemon and squeeze out the juice. Rinse the fresh parsley, pat dry, and chop it (not too finely). Cut the bread slice into cubes and toast them in a small skillet, stirring often, without adding any fat.

Sono una mamma, lavoratrice, che ha scelto di costruire un futuro migliore per la propria famiglia anche attraverso l'alimentazione e l'attenzione verso l'ambiente, perché siamo noi l'esempio per le prossime generazioni. Si pensa troppo spesso che seguire un'alimentazione biologica sia difficile, impegnativo e troppo costoso... nulla di più sbagliato! Il mio intento è dimostrare che basta solo volerlo e il cambiamento è a portata di mano. Migliorare le nostre abitudini alimentari è molto più facile di quanto si pensi: viviamo in un territorio ricco di tipicità, varietà e prodotti di qualità elevatissima! Basta iniziare da pochi e piccoli cambiamenti, un passo alla volta e si può arrivare anche molto lontano se si desidera!
