for the lamb stew known as tu’hu, first you get water. Then you sear leg meat in fat. In go salt, beer, onion, rocket, coriander, Persian shallot, cumin, beets, water. Crushed leek and garlic and more coriander, for a fiery taste. Then add kurrat, an Egyptian leek.

      Rocket is a vegetable. Also known as arugula. It’s on the spicy side.

        You think it’s spicy? I’ve never heard that honestly. A little peppery tasting, sure, but not spicy. Unless there’s spicy varieties of it or something.

          I mean… not jalapeno spicy, but I’d say it’s on the radish level if it’s decent.

              Long European radishes are mild, the round American ones are quite spicy, like mustard or horse_radish_.

                  Like they said… what do you think horseradish is? For that matter, what do you think wasabi is?

              They certainly have a bite to them, though I don’t know if spicy is the word I’d use exactly.

          A word that is sometimes used is “piquant”, rocket is just another kind of mustard essentially and it can be hot like mustard can be (think how wasabi is spicy; the greens are not as spicy as wasabi generally, but it’s on the same spectrum).

    The YouTube channel “Tasting History” has a video on this. If you’re interested in the history of food, that channel is fantastic.

      I’m not a fan of beets, but it sounds good otherwise.
