How To Use

Enjoy it with roasted eggplant when making a Sabich-Eggplant Sandwich, or take a cue from this recipe and just mix it with some hummus for a spicy condiment or snack. Swap in to make fun and spicy Middle-Eastern style Spiced Meatballs, or stir some into an African Vegetable Stew for a bit of heat.
