Matit

Savta Shoshana described this Jewish Yemenite medicinal recipe as “nature’s antibiotic,” claiming that it strengthens the immune system, and cures sore throats and sinus and lung infections. It also makes for a nutritious breakfast.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 2-4

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup sour cream or eshel (a buttermilk-like product)
  • 1315 crushed garlic cloves
  • 3 Tbsp plain white flour
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 tomatoes (the freshest you can find), grated by hand
  • 2 tsp hawaij (optional)
  • strips of bread (to your taste)
