Recipe Review
Zosia from Toronto, ON
This recipe is all about the Hawayej, and I have a feeling that it really didn’t do it justice. The Yemeni spice blend is made of common spice rack ingredients and is usually “used to flavor hearty soups and stews”; in this recipe it’s used to marinate fish. The flavour wasn’t bad, it just wasn't great and it received mixed reactions from family who didn’t like the cloves in particular. I think this blend might benefit from a longer cooking time that gives the spice flavours a chance to develop and meld together.
I served the fish with couscous with tomato and onion.
