Authentic Arenbiyeh

A seasonal citrus tahini sauce as taught by my grandmother.

Arenbiyeh is a traditional Lebanese, and specifically Beiruti, sauce. It is usually used with Kibbeh served with vermicelli rice, or with fish filet. My grandmother Wafika used to perfect it and has inspired me since my childhood to preserve our family's refined culinary heritage.

An authentic recipe of Arenbiyeh requires seasonal bitter orange "Bou Sfeir" or "Sfeir", along with 5 different kinds of citrus fruits, which we source straight from the fields in Saida, Southern Lebanon, where citrus varieties are abundant.
