Title: Yemenite Helbeh (Dipping Sauce)
Categories: Sauce
Yield: 1 Batch
2 tb Fenugreek seeds
1/4 c Zhug (see recipe
- "Yemenite Zhug")
1/2 sm Lemon; juice of
1 Tomato
Let the fenugreek seeds soak in water for several hours or overnight.
Pour off any remaining liquid, leaving a moist paste.
Using a wooden spoon, whip in, little by little, up to 1/2 cup
water into the paste. Then mix in the zhug, lemon juice (JN calls for
1 tb, or to taste), and the tomato (JN says to grate it, I just mash
it up).
Adjust seasonings to taste. It should be very spicy. This can either
be eaten plain with bread (I would use pita), or served with a meal
like a chutney.
