Lady of Lebanon.
HARISSA, Lebanon (CNS) -- High on a summit overlooking the Mediterranean, Our Lady of Lebanon stands majestically with her arms outstretched, welcoming her children.
Muslims and Christians alike come to the shrine, 16 miles north of Beirut.
To Muslims, Mary is known in Arabic as "Seidatna Maryam," Our Lady Mary. Even though Muslims do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God, in the Quran, a chapter is devoted to Maryam.
In Lebanon, the feast of the Annunciation, March 25, is celebrated by Christians and Muslims as a national holiday.
Some Muslims come to Harissa for tourism to enjoy the spectacular views from the shrine's 1,886-foot summit, and some Muslims even visit its churches to pray, said Maronite Father Younen Obeid, rector of Harissa.

A warm welcome awaits you just off Grosvenor Square. We chose the table d'hóte menu at £27.50pp including a carafe of wine - white or red, your choice - and could not fault it. A bread basket arrives with grand slices of crunchy freshly baked sourdough bread and rosemary wafers...Flavoursome Parsnip soup, exquisitely seasoned Tuna tartare followed by Char grilled corn fed chicken, truffle mash, chanterelles and leeks and Braised Ox Cheek, celeriac puree and root vegetables. The cheek just fell apart nicely and the connective tissue had disintegrated into a fabulous jelly - the sauce was unctious! Followed by Jaffa mousse, clementine and chocolate pearls and Bramley Apple Pie with cinnamon ice cream. Both delectable with the crust of the pie just crunchy and gorgeous. Service was professional, unobtusive, a rare phenomenon nowadays. A winelist to die for, if a bit steep in places.... Great for couples and business lunches/dinners...Having said all that, I think I'll recommend it!
The flavors of these skewers are fantastic. Spicy and middle eastern.. You can find the recipe <a href="http://junglefrog-cooking.com/a-month-in-marrakesh-andy-harris/" here
Kitchen is in chaos but I am making this. Whatever it is. I just liked the colors.
M goi to my friend from Hong Kong for the inspiration to make this.

The modern day Lady of Lebanon statue in Harissa, built in the 19th Century is now a place of pilgrimage.
A late lunch today
I made this Moroccan style vegetable tagine today. I call it Moroccan style because I don't really know whether or not this is authentic Moroccan. (Link to recipe below).
The most authentic ingredient in my dish would have to be the imported Harissa paste, the stuff in the yellow tubes, Le phare du Cap Bon. www.chilliworld.com/harissa-le-phare-du-cap-bon-70g
Note:
Harissa Spice Blend (as per recipe) is not the same as Harissa Paste from the tubes. The spice blend may be a bit milder but, if making a Moroccan dish one might as well use real Harissa to give the dish the fire it deserves :)
Harissa paste is hot, very H-H-Hot! I only once added one tablespoon of paste. Now, and until I am more or less familiar with the recipe, I usually follow the recipe quite strictly.
Anybody who is unfamiliar with Harissa from the yellow tubes may start with a teaspoon even if it requires one tablespoon. Then, taste the dish, and gradually add more until you feel the fire on your tongue! At this stage, it may be too late and too much. Don't forget, you don't have to eat just a tasting spoon full, you have to eat a whole plate of fiery food! :D
That's why I garnished the dish with a few sultanas, to take the heat off the food - a bit. I think that may be the reason for adding apricots, to deflect from the heat.
Overall, I liked the taste of this casserole which I served with pearl couscous. A serve of this size is quite filling!

Panoramic view from the shirne. Our Lady of Lebanon (Arabic,سيدة لبنان), also known as Notre Dame du Liban, is a marian shrine and a pilgrimage site, honoring the patron saint of the Mediterranean country of Lebanon. The Lebanese Christians as well as the Druze and Muslims have a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Maronite Patriarch of Antioch named her the "Queen of Lebanon" in 1908 upon completion of the shrine. Overlooking the bay of Jounieh, the shrine has become a major tourist attraction where tourists take the gondola lift, the Téléphérique, from the city of Jounieh to Harissa.
The bitter, the better. Fruit mostarda vinaigrette perfectly balances the endive's bitterness and fried halloumi cheese adds a punch of saltiness. Many thanks to Superiority Burger for the spark. They also add a pickled green pepper to this salad which I did not have at hand and subbed it with harissa in the vinaigrette for a touch of spiciness. Finally, a good use for that homemade rhubarb mostarda.
Vinaigrette alla Mostarda
Ingredients: any kind of fruit mostarda, whole grain mustard, harissa (optional), white wine vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper
Fill a small jar with all ingredients, close the top tightly and shake until the juices emulsify.
Chicken Schnitzel with a piquant sauce of peppers, onions and tomatoes (and various seasonings, including paprika), served with chips.
The original name of this dish is no longer appropriate, and so it's now often referred to simply as "schnitzel with a bell pepper sauce".
Tripoli, November 2, 2015 - Salim Ibrahim, a lambskin exporter from Tripoli, northern Lebanon. Prior to the Syrian conflict he used trucks to transport his goods through Syria and beyond however he now must transport by sea, which is more expensive, takes longer and there is higher risk of product loss. His income is a quarter of what it used to be.

Beirut city by night!!!! The front area is Jounieh, taken from Harissa the place of the biggest Cathedral of the Virgin Marry in Lebanon.
This is for all those who asked to see the full view of the city in the last photo, the one with the trees in the front.
DAY 5 – Today is my last day in Lebanon before a long journey back to US. My final day tour with Nakhal brought me to the southernmost cities Sidon and Tyre. As oppose to the yellow Hezbollah flags we saw in Baalbek, we noticed the green Hamas flags were flying high in the south. Hamas has the history of launching attack to Israel from here. At one point, we were just less than 30km from the Israel border. Our first stop this morning is the Sidon Sea Castle. Sidon was once a rich and flourishing Phoenician city, with tight trade links to ancient Egypt. The Sea Castle we visited was built by the Crusaders on a small island connected to the mainland by a fortified stone causeway. The most interesting part of the castle is the outer walls where Roman columns were used as horizontal reinforcements, a feature often seen in fortifications built on or near former Roman sites.
