People talking
It enhances the flavour of many foods, I live in Egypt and use it often, I always have in the fridge to liven up the taste buds. Ideal condiment for Liver, spaghetti, foul medames (Egyptian fava beans)

Wonderful condiment! Actually I love dipping bread in it and then in dukkah. And I particularly like it on fried potatoes! Thanks for sharing this great recipe.<br/>Made for Welcome to Egypt / N*A*M*E Forum1Reply

This is a very versatile condiment. It also makes an excellent marinade. It reminds me of the Goya mojo criollo marinade. Made for PAC 2012 Orphanage.Reply

This daqua is wonderful. I have made it several times now and last time I tripled the recipe because it is gone soon after I make it. We put it on almost everything it gives a lovely flavor to your food. Believe it or not, my DH actually drank it the other day. Thank you for posting .Reply

EJ: This is really excellent. I sprinkled it on a lettuce salad along with olive oil. It was amazing. Thanks so much for this versatile condiment.Reply
