Review: Mezmez Mouhamara, Hommus Beiruti, and Keshkeh
Elias Sumer, chef of the Libanese restaurant Cedars in Amsterdam, created three MezMez products - Mouhamara, Hommus Beiruti, and Keshkeh - that you can find in the supermarket. I had never tried Libanese food before, so I was really curious about them.
First impressions: The MezMez Mouhamara has a dark red, tomato sauce like appearance and the MezMez KeshKeh looks like a watery, yoghurt based salad dressing. I have tried Hommus before, but the MezMez Hommus Beiruti seems more special as it has more different herbs mixed in.
MezMez Mouhamara* (€2.49), Hommus Beiruti*(€2.29), and Keshkeh* (€2.49), 150 g
The three MezMez pastes have resealable plastic cups and you can easily slide out the outer paper sleeves.
