Chorba Frik - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 liter vegetable stock

3 -4 tablespoons tomato puree
handful parsley and handful coriander, finely chopped

Gently fry the onion until soft. Add the Garlic cook for another 2 mins then add the Cayenne and Paprika and cook for another minute.
Add the tomato puree and stock and bring to the boil, add the Frik and simmer covered for 30 mins until Frik is soft. (I like to then wizz with a blender) Add the chickpeas and herbs and cook for a few mins until chickpeas are heated.
Add a squeeze of lemon and serve with the Borek (see separate recipes)...... Bliss.
