- 3 medium Tomatoes(Ripe and firm.)
- 1 medium Onion(Red or white onion can be used, depending on preference.)
- 60 ml Olive oil(Extra virgin olive oil is recommended for best flavor.)
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice(Freshly squeezed is best.)

👨🍳 Інструкції

Prepare the kishk base: In a medium bowl, combine the Egyptian kishk with 120 ml (1/2 cup) of water. Stir well to form a thick paste. Let it sit and soak for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kishk has softened and absorbed most of the water. The consistency should be like a thick yogurt or hummus.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Prepare the vegetables: Wash the tomatoes and dice them into small, uniform cubes (about 0.5 cm). Peel the onion and finely dice it. For a milder onion flavor, you can soak the diced onion in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain thoroughly.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Combine the ingredients: Add the diced tomatoes and finely diced onion to the bowl with the prepared kishk. Gently mix everything together until well combined. Ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the kishk mixture.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Dress the salad: Drizzle the olive oil and fresh lemon juice over the salad. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently one last time to coat all the ingredients evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 5
Serve: Salatet Kishk is best served immediately or chilled. It's a wonderful accompaniment to pita bread, flatbreads, or grilled meats.
