About Makanek
Makanek are small Lebanese sausages made from minced beef or lamb, flavored with a blend of spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and pine nuts, giving them a distinctive and aromatic taste. This popular dish originates from Levantine cuisine, often served as part of mezze platters or cooked in rich tomato sauces. Makanek are a flavorful protein source, providing essential amino acids and iron from the meat. However, they can be high in fat and sodium, depending on the preparation method and seasoning, which might not be suitable for restrictive diets. Traditional recipes sometimes include natural casings, adding to their authenticity. While they are a delicious treat, enjoying Makanek in moderation is key to balancing flavor with nutrition. Pairing them with fresh vegetables or whole grains can help round out their nutritional profile.
