The BBQ chicken is as per how you would marinate it but you add sumac. Its a little ground berry & gives a middle eastern flavour thats a bit like lemon. Its is very nice.
I have never made kibbeh nayeh as it is essentially raw meat mixed with herbs & treated with lemon. Best leave this to the experts, ie. your lebo mates mothers. Its also very nice.
Tabouli is soaked crack wheat (burgal) and finely chopped parsley, roma tomatoes, spring onions seasoned with salt, pepper, little olive oil & lemon.
I always add finely chopped Lebanese cucumbers to build it up but its not the way its done, its my way. I reckon its the best salad every & very healthy (very little oil)
