It enhances the flavour of many foods, I live in Egypt and use it often, I always have in the fridge to liven up the taste buds. Ideal condiment for Liver, spaghetti, foul medames (Egyptian fava beans)

This daqua is wonderful. I have made it several times now and last time I tripled the recipe because it is gone soon after I make it. We put it on almost everything it gives a lovely flavor to your food. Believe it or not, my DH actually drank it the other day. Thank you for posting .

    EJ: This is really excellent. I sprinkled it on a lettuce salad along with olive oil. It was amazing. Thanks so much for this versatile condiment.

    This is a very unique combination to produce a super flavor. Look at the ingredients- no oil- no sugar just pure ingredients with 3 calories per serving.. I used it on liver and it was excellent- I think I would love this on skinles Chicken beasts. Thanks Egytian John I will be contacting you for more Egytian recipes

    We use this base sauce for alot of our middle eastern dishes such as foul, hommus, baba ghanouj, or even as a condiment for Mlokhia which I know the Egyptians are famed for besides Kushary. The part of the mid east my husband is from refer to this as "tetbele". I usually do it by the mortar and pestle method, however we dont add cumin or vinegar.Thanks for posting this recipe.
