Instructions

  1. For the tahini sauce, mix tahini and water in a small bowl until smooth. Press in one peeled garlic clove, add maple syrup and lemon juice, and mix well. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  2. For the mango sauce, peel the mango and blend the soft flesh in a tall container with a hand blender until creamy, adding a bit of water if needed. Add chili flakes to taste and stir. Set aside.
  3. For the Zhoug, first grind the 3 cloves and the contents of 5 cardamom pods in a mortar. Put this powder in a tall container that fits the hand blender, and add the following: cilantro leaves, parsley leaves, 4 tablespoons of cold water, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1 jalapeno without the stem, and 2 peeled garlic cloves.

  6. Finally, prepare the eggplant slices. Wash and dry the eggplant, then cut it into slices about 1 cm thick. Spread 2 tablespoons of cornstarch on a small plate and coat the eggplant slices on both sides, shaking off any excess. Fry the slices in a hot pan with 2 tablespoons of clarified butter until crispy on both sides, then let them drain on a paper towel.
  7. To assemble, spread tahini sauce on each piece of bread, add tomato-cucumber salad, then a few eggplant slices, and top with Zhoug and mango sauce. Finally, sprinkle the roasted chickpeas on top. Enjoy your delicious creation!

Cilantro Oil


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 75 min
  • Yield: 250 ml / 1 cup

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
  • blender
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • whisk
  • a bowl into which the medium saucepan fits
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • fine sieve
  • sealable container
  • ice cubes
  • coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 30 grams cilantro
  • 250 milliliters unrefined / cold-pressed rapeseed oil

Instructions

  1. Separate the leaves from the stems and put the leaves into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until it becomes bright green and no pieces of cilantro are longer visible.
  2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat, constantly stirring, to a temperature of about 102°-103°C (215°-217°F). Then, let the oil simmer for the next 10 minutes. Stir only occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady. This cooking time is essential for all the water to evaporate, allowing the perishable solids to settle at the bottom and the dark green oil to float on top. You’ll know all the water has evaporated when the oil in the pot barely bubbles anymore – so if it’s still bubbling vigorously, keep it simmering.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare a bowl large enough to fit the medium-sized pot, filled with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over a medium-sized bowl.
  4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to stop the cooking process. Once the oil is no longer boiling and is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and pour the oil into the fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.
  5. Then, rinse the strainer and hang it over the second medium-sized bowl. Press a coffee filter into the strainer and pour the captured oil into the coffee filter, so that the remaining perishable and coarser particles are caught.
  6. Allow the oil to drip through for about 1 hour or maybe more depending on how many remaining particles are in there. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount into a sealable container or directly into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 2 hours 50 min
  • Yield: 10

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • baking pan (I used a 28x8cm / 11”x3” loaf pan)
  • large bowl
  • measuring cup
  • plastic wrap (or kitchen towel)
  • small bowl
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • garlic press
  • rolling pin

Ingredients

Units Scale
DOUGH
  • 600 grams all-purpose flour
  • 42 grams fresh yeast
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 50 milliliters oil of your choice (I used cold-pressed rapeseed oil)
  • 350 milliliters lukewarm water
FILLING
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 30 grams fresh herbs (I used thyme, oregano, basil, rosemary & parsley)
  • 125 grams soft butter
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

  1. For the dough, mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. In a measuring cup, measure out the lukewarm water, crumble in the fresh yeast, and stir until the yeast dissolves. Add the yeast water and olive oil to the flour-sugar-salt mixture and mix until a sticky dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp towel and set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. With a wet hand, grab one side of the dough, lift it up, and fold it into the middle. Repeat with the other three sides. Let the dough rest for another 10 minutes, then repeat the folding process and let the dough rise, covered, for 1 hour.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Finely chop the herbs and peel the garlic cloves, then either finely chop them or use a garlic press. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper into a paste and set aside (do not refrigerate, the butter should remain spreadable). Prepare the baking pan by either greasing it with a bit of butter or lining it with parchment paper, and set aside.
  4. After the dough has risen for an hour, perform one final round of folding and let it rise, covered, for another hour.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2” thick. Spread the butter-garlic-herb paste evenly over the dough. Cut the dough into strips about 8cm / 3” wide. Fold each strip like an accordion and place them upright in the baking pan with the buttered side facing up. Repeat with all the strips, pressing the dough snugly into the pan. Preheat the oven to 200°C / 392°F. Bake the dough for about 30 minutes. Serve warm or let cool. And now enjoy this piece of happiness 🙂
