\n<\/a>i really didn’t mean to put our houseguest, lisa\u2019s brother dave, to work. but i sure am glad i did!<\/strong> dave is visiting from beirut, lebanon where he is an associate professor of arabic at the american university of beirut.<\/p>\n

dave loves to cook.<\/em><\/strong> i remember being pretty impressed when i first met him back in the late 70\u2019s in new mexico. he was cooking chinese food at home! back in those days there was only one chinese restaurant in ann arbor, leo pings, and la choy was about the only fare to be found in most home kitchens. dave\u2019s lived in the middle east for many years, first in egypt and now on the mediterranean sea in beirut.<\/p>\n

if he could cook an authentic beirut style fish dinner as well as the chinese he served us i knew we were in for a great experience!<\/strong><\/p>\n

of course he was happy to oblige, so we headed out to the mediterranean\u00a0market on stone school rd. and dave found just what he needed; sumac for his fatoush, bulgar wheat for tabbouleh, chickpeas for hummus and authentic pita bread.\"tabbouleh\"<\/p>\n

watching him pur\u00e9e the onions and garlic for the sea bass, i wondered how this juicy mixture was going to be a marinade and a stuffing. won\u2019t the stuffing fall out during grilling? i soon understood watching him squeeze the juices over the fish, then taking the firmer remaining mix and stuffing that inside.<\/strong> the stuffing remained perfectly intact and the dish was absolutely fantastic. the entire meal was amazing! here’s the recipe.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
