    I "sear/grill" the jicama wraps in a dry pan for a minute or so. It kind of dries them out a bit and makes them less crunchy if you're looking for less of that weird crunch.

    the "zhoug sauce" originates from Yemen, and is pronounced schoog with the throaty ch. The original Schug is really spicy and I mix it into grated tomato or sauces for dipping

    • @misspeaches1144
      @misspeaches1144 Před 4 lety

      @@misspeaches1144 I put it on toasted bread or pita (unless I have harissa), top with avocado, then a bit of date syrup or agave. It's really good, spicy but not too spicy with the avocado and sweetener. I got the idea from Daphne Oz a few years ago when she made it (thigh she used harissa and honey).

    Zhoug is great in rice! Depending on your heat preferences, 1tsp to 1tbsp mixed in gives it great color and flavor. Then you eat it with whatever dish you're serving with your rice. You can also add it to "eggs".

    We love the zhoug sauce at our house! We eat it plain with tortilla chips, sometimes a little mixed with TJs garlic chipotle salsa, but best of all mixed into hummus. Also the jicama wraps make a healthier substitute for rice wrappers when making fresh spring rolls (though you do have to eat them taco-style).
    So excited to be going vegetarian (heading toward vegan) at our house (one mom, two teens). My daughter has been vegetarian since elementary school, and my son never liked meat much except fast food burgers. I've also been vegetarian on and off all my life. We had watched many movies together (Forks over Knives, Cowspiracy, etc.), but the movie that really sealed it for us all was Okja - I highly recommend it.
    Thanks for your great videos. You offer lots of good recipes, practical tips, and a relaxed approach that makes it all look very doable. 😊
