so excited about this green shakshuka special using an ingredient i scooped up the minute i saw it for sale from La Boîte
SHEEP + GOAT’S MILK YOGURT STONE, otherwise known as jameed or kishk.
it’s well known at this point how much we love to ferment and preserve at moss but this was a method i’d never heard of before and had to learn more!
as La Boîte describes: “one of the oldest forms of dairy preservation in the world. handmade in small batches by a bedouin cooperative in the eastern mediterranean desert. pure goat and sheep’s milk. salt. sun. nothin else.”
try it today on two farm eggs poached in spinach, chiles and herbs!
