      Title: Yemenite Helbeh (Dipping Sauce)
 Categories: Sauce
      Yield: 1 Batch

      2 tb Fenugreek seeds
    1/4 c  Zhug (see recipe
           - "Yemenite Zhug")
    1/2 sm Lemon; juice of
      1    Tomato

Let the fenugreek seeds soak in water for several hours or overnight.

Pour off any remaining liquid, leaving a moist paste.

Using a wooden spoon, whip in, little by little, up to 1/2 cup
water into the paste. Then mix in the zhug, lemon juice (JN calls for
1 tb, or to taste), and the tomato (JN says to grate it, I just mash
it up).

Adjust seasonings to taste. It should be very spicy. This can either
be eaten plain with bread (I would use pita), or served with a meal
like a chutney.
