Pickles

A Tangy, Crisp Tradition

Pickles are an iconic element of Lebanese Cuisine, bringing vibrant, tangy flavours that transform every meal. At Warda Restaurant, our Lebanese Pickles are prepared with care, combining a variety of fresh vegetables—crunchy cucumbers, crisp carrots, tender cauliflower, and, occasionally, turnips. These are marinated in a zesty blend of vinegar, garlic, and aromatic spices, creating a refreshing and flavourful contrast to the richness of grilled meats, stews, or mezze platters.

What Are Lebanese Pickles Made Of?

Our pickles are a delightful blend of simple, fresh ingredients:

• Cucumbers: For that classic crunch and refreshing flavour.
• Carrots: Adding a touch of sweetness and satisfying bite.
• Cauliflower: Tender, yet perfect for soaking up the bold marinade.
• Turnips (Optional): Naturally dyed with beets for a pop of colour and tang.

These vegetables are immersed in a fragrant marinade of:

• Vinegar: The source of their sharp, tangy bite.
• Garlic: Infusing bold, savoury undertones.
• Aromatic Spices: Coriander seeds, bay leaves, and black pepper for a rich, complex flavour.

Why Are Our Pickles So Special?

• Tangy & Bold Flavours: The signature marinade strikes the perfect balance of acidity and spice.
• Crunchy Texture: Each vegetable retains its natural crispness, providing a satisfying bite.
• Handcrafted Freshness: Made with the finest ingredients and no artificial preservatives.
• Perfect Pairings: A versatile addition to any meal, enhancing every dish with vibrant flavours.
