Amba tahini :

What is Amba?

a tangy mango pickle condiment popular in Middle Eastern cuisine (particularly Iraqi and Israeli cuisines).

Are you Ready for something wildly different? This pickled mango sauce will take your taste buds for a ride !!! Let’s start

Ingredients:

• 2 mangoes, peeled and cut into chunks

• 1-2 tablespoon salt

• 1/4 cup grapeseed or olive oil

• 1 teaspoon mustard seed

• 1 teaspoon ground fenugreek

• 2 teaspoons cumin seed

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

• 2 tablespoons hot paprika

• 1 tablespoon turmeric

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey

• 1 head garlic cloves, minced

• 1/2-1 cup water

Instructions:

Coat mango pieces completely with salt. Place into jar, and set out in the sun for 5 days.

Drain and reserve liquid. Spread mango pieces out onto parchment paper to dry for 3-4 hours (this can be done in an oven on warm.)

Heat oil in small pot. Add spices and stir for a few minutes until you hear popping noises.

Stir 2-3 more minutes, and then add garlic and brown sugar. Stir 2 – 3 minutes, and add mango, water and reserved juices. Stir to coat.

Turn off heat, and use immersion blender to create a smooth sauce. Taste, and add more salt and pepper if needed.

Store in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to a week.
