About Sfiha

Sfiha, also known as open-faced meat pie, is a popular dish originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly Lebanon and Syria. Traditionally, sfiha features a thin, soft dough topped with a savory mixture of ground lamb or beef, often combined with onions, tomatoes, and fragrant spices like sumac and cinnamon. Some variations may include pine nuts or yogurt in the filling. While sfihas are rich in protein from the meat, they can also be high in fat depending on the cut of meat used and any oils added in preparation. The dough, typically made with refined flour, contributes carbohydrates but may lack fiber. To make sfiha a balanced option, choosing lean cuts of meat and whole-grain dough can boost its nutritional profile. Pairing it with a side of fresh vegetables or salad can also enhance its healthfulness while celebrating its rich, flavorful heritage.
