Palestinian cuisine is inherently abundant in fresh vegetables, legumes, grains, and fragrant herbs – the very building blocks of delicious vegan meals. Think of the creamy hummus, the smoky baba ghanoush, the flavourful falafel, the hearty lentil soups, and the vibrant salads bursting with seasonal produce. These traditional dishes naturally lend themselves to plant-based adaptations, showcasing the versatility and richness of Palestinian food. As Fadi Kattan of London’s Akub restaurant eloquently puts it, “Palestinian hospitality is best experienced around an abundant tawla, a dining table with sharing plates offering the flavours and fragrances of the coast, the olives and figs of the Mediterranean terroir and the preservation methods of the desert.” This spirit of sharing and abundance easily embraces vegan friendly options.
