Libyan cuisine is the cuisine of Libya, which is Arab and Mediterranean with Italian influence. One of the most popular Libyan dishes is bazin, an unleavened bread prepared with barley, water and salt. Bazin is prepared by boiling barley flour in water and then beating it to create a dough using a magraf, which is a unique stick designed for this purpose. Pork consumption is forbidden, in accordance with Sharia, the religious laws of Islam.
In Tripoli, Libya's capital, the cuisine is particularly influenced by Italian cuisine. Pasta is common, and many seafood dishes are available. Southern Libyan cuisine is more traditionally Arab with Berber influence. Common fruits and vegetables include figs, dates, oranges, apricots and olives.
