Marhaba! Today, I am going to teach you how to cook Samkeh Harra (\u0633\u0645\u0643\u0629 \u062d\u0631\u0629) with tahini sauce (\u0627\u0644\u0637\u062d\u064a\u0646\u0629). It is a tasty dish that is popular in the Middle East and specifically the Levant. This dish has progressed from something that required intense and long hours of preparation to becoming a dish that is instantly offered with other mezza dishes in any restaurant in the Arab world. It is very popular in Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria among other places.<\/p>\n

It is a great dish to prepare for the weekend, if you plan on having family or friends over. My wife and I usually prepare it during summer, because we associate this dish with the many times we have spent having it at one of the many resorts in Lebanon on the Mediterranean Sea. In seafood places, this dish is one of the various ways that Arabic chefs use to serve fish.<\/p>\n

I am sharing the recipe that my wife and I use to cook this popular dish from a noteworthy cooking book called The Lebanese Kitchen: Quick and Healthy Recipes<\/span> by Monique Bassila Zaarour<\/a>, a Canadian registered dietitian (\u0627\u062e\u0635\u0627\u0626\u064a\u0629 \u062a\u063a\u0630\u064a\u0629) with Lebanese roots (\u062c\u0630\u0648\u0631 \u0644\u0628\u0646\u0627\u0646\u064a\u0629). According to Zaarour and out of our experience, this recipe makes around five servings. In practice it does not require a lot of preparation, around 20 minutes. Also, the cooking time is around 30 minutes. So all in all, you will have an impressive and tasty fish dish in less than an hour!
