Hilbeh
YEMENITE HOT RELISH
To make about 1 1/2 cups
3 tablespoons fenugreek seeds (reddish-brown seeds with a curry like aroma, from a plant of the pea family)
3 medium-sized firm, ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 whole cardamom pods, crushed, or 1/8 teaspoon cardamom seeds
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds or 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground hot red pepper

   With a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon, crush the fenugreek seeds to a fine powder. Pour in 1 cup of boiling water and steep for 2 or 3 hours. Then drain the fenugreek in a fine sieve. Purée the tomatoes through a sieve set over a bowl and stir the fenugreek into them.

   With the back of a spoon or with a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic and salt to a paste. Add the cardamom, caraway, coriander and red pepper and mash them vigorously until the mixture is smooth. Stir it into the tomato and fenugreek.

   Serve at once or store tightly covered in the refrigerator. Hilbeh is a traditional fiery accompaniment for falafel (Recipe Index) or a dip for bread.
