Remember when I posted about Iraqi cucumbers and salt? Hardly a revelation, but it is something my father, may Allah bless and have mercy on his soul, used to sometimes snack on in the evening. It is something so simple that one would have to get out of their own head to consider sharing it. Same goes of this "recipe". Us Iraqis like to grill tomatoes and onion by default with our meats. Strange to the western culture, we often serve our grills with some rice. So it's a no-brainer to cut up our grilled charred tomato almost into a mash, generously salt it, and mix it into our plain white rice. The taste is way beyond the sum of its parts.
Ingredients: per person
2 tomatoes, halved
cooked white rice
Method:
The halved tomatoes are usually grilled to a black char on the bbq with the meats, so some extra flavor from the meat gets infused along with the smoke into the vegetable.
Once the tomatoes are charred and blistered, cut them up into a rough mash, generously salt it, and mix in the cooked white rice.
صحة و عافية
