Some dishes are immediately bingo. Right from the first idea. This recipe is inspired by a recipe by Sami Tamimi, a well-known Palestinian chef. When I read it I knew, this is an à la Damaris recipe. And so it is. Fantastically tasty.

Ingredients

  • 250 gram candy tomatoes

  • 10 table spoon tahina

  • 1 Lemon for juice and zest

  • 0,5 bouquet fresh mint

  • 2 table spoon shatta (see recipe on the website)
    You can also replace it with sambal oelek with a small dash of vinegar through it.

  • dash good olive oil

Cooking time

  • Cut the snack tomatoes into small pieces.
  • For the tahina sauce, mix the tahina, the juice of the lemon, and enough water to get a lumpy tahina sauce. It should certainly not become too liquid. Don’t forget to scrape the zest off the lemon first, that won’t work well if you’ve already cut it in half.
  • Put the tomatoes with the tahina sauce in a shallow dish. Divide the zest and the finely chopped fresh mint over it. Pour a drizzle of olive oil over the top of the dish.
  • Serve with shatta on top, but make sure that guests who don’t like spicy can also avoid this.
    Serve with delicious warm pita bread.
