• 1 1/2 tsp fine salt
• 1/8 - 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
(optional)
PREPARATION

large bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand 15 minutes, then
drain well.
3. Add drained red pepper puree to a large saucepan. Add sugar,
vinegar, salt and red pepper flakes (optional). Stir to combine. Heat
over medium heat until mixture boils, then reduce heat to medium
low and simmer, stirring regularly to start, then watching and
stirring more regularly towards the end of cooking to avoid
scorching on the bottom, until mixture is thickened, about 40-45
minutes. (Mixture will thicken further in the fridge).

4. Prepare three one-cup capacity jars by cleaning well.

5. When jam is ready, spoon into prepared jars and allow to cool for

 FIG JAM

THE SWEET TOUCH CANNOT BE MISSING AND THAT IS WHY WE SHARE WITH YOU THIS DELICIOUS JAM
THAT MATCHES WELL WITH A SALTY TOUCH.

PREPARATION

1. Pull the stems off the figs, then puree them in a food processor until
Ingredients: mostly smooth (a few chunks are okay to give it some texture).

1• lb figs 2. Transfer the fig paste to a medium-sized heavy-bottomed (but not cast

3/4 cup granulated sugar
• cup water
1/4
2• tsp lemon juice (juice of 1/2
small lemon)
1• tsp pure vanilla extract
iron) pot. Stir in the sugar, water, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over
medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium.
3. Boil, stirring nearly constantly, until it becomes jam-like in consistency.
At this point it’ll look kind of shiny and will fall off a spoon in bigger clumps
or sheets, as opposed to small drips. If you are unsure, turn off the heat
and place a bit of the jam on a cold plate (stuck in the freezer before you
begin), let it sit for a minute or so, then check the consistency to see if it is
jam-like. If needed, return to the heat for a few more minutes.

4. Once it is finished cooking, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla
extract.
SHARE

5. Carefully transfer the jam to a clean jar. Screw the lid on a bit, but do not
tighten it. Let it cool for an hour or so, then transfer to the fridge (still with
a semi-loose lid). After it has cooled completely you can tighten the
•

lid – it just gets stuck if you tighten it while hot. Store in the refrigerator.
COOK

Jam can be refrigerated for a maximum of 10 days, or frozen.

HUMMUS IS A CLASSIC DIP, BUT THIS RECIPE GIVES IT
AN EXTRA TOUCH WITH BASIL.
PREPARATION
1. To germinate the grains: Put the chickpeas to soak from the
previous night (minimum 12 hours) and change the water every
time you can. Then cook the chickpeas in a pressure stove until
they are soft, as this will normally take a long time.
2. Place the chickpeas, tahini, basil, lemon juice and garlic in the
mincer or blender and process until a homogeneous mixture is
obtained. Add a dash of oil, salt, and pepper to taste and process
again a little. If the consistency is too pasty, we can add a little
more oil or a splash of water. I added water.
3. Serve on a Machika Serving Bowl! , decorate with a dash of oil,
powdered turmeric or paprika, sesame seeds, and a few pieces of
fresh basil or rosemary.
DO YOU LIKE THE COMBINATION OF SWEET AND
SALTY? BECAUSE WE LOVE IT AND IT IS ONE OF THE
