for the lamb stew known as tu’hu, first you get water. Then you sear leg meat in fat. In go salt, beer, onion, rocket, coriander, Persian shallot, cumin, beets, water. Crushed leek and garlic and more coriander, for a fiery taste. Then add kurrat, an Egyptian leek.
Rocket, huh?
for a fiery taste
Rocket is a vegetable. Also known as arugula. It’s on the spicy side.
You think it’s spicy? I’ve never heard that honestly. A little peppery tasting, sure, but not spicy. Unless there’s spicy varieties of it or something.
I mean… not jalapeno spicy, but I’d say it’s on the radish level if it’s decent.
Radishes are not spicy, I’ve never understood this. It’s almost entirely water!
Long European radishes are mild, the round American ones are quite spicy, like mustard or horse_radish_.
Hard disagree. I eat the smaller round ones raw all the time. Y’all need to step your game up.
I remember thinking radishes were spicy as a kid. As an adult, not so much.
A word that is sometimes used is “piquant”, rocket is just another kind of mustard essentially and it can be hot like mustard can be (think how wasabi is spicy; the greens are not as spicy as wasabi generally, but it’s on the same spectrum).
The YouTube channel “Tasting History” has a video on this. If you’re interested in the history of food, that channel is fantastic.
I was recently introduced to tasting history and it’s become the new obsession in our house. My wife even bought his cookbook.
That sounds great! I’ll check it out. Thanks!
That is a legitimately great channel. It is worth a watch
Sounds really fkn delicious.
That sounds delicious.
I’m not a fan of beets, but it sounds good otherwise.
Those mfs were eating better than me.
