In this video, I will show you how to make Saltah. Although it’s a well known dish in Yemen, this is only my second time making it in 20 years. The dish has Turkish origins and is similar in concept to Paella as it utilizes a lot of leftover vegetables, meat and rice to create a new dish served in the same pot it was cooked in. A frothed fenugreek sauce known as Houlbah (Helbah) is prepared and drizzled on top of the Saltah before serving. The word Saltah comes from the arabic verb Salat which means to mix and to mash together. This refers to mixing leftover ingredients to create a cohesive and delicious meal. Saltah is usually served for lunch with Tannour bread (Kubz Tannour) and in a clay bowl that maintains heat for a long period of time.
Ingredients (Servings for two):
2 Medium potato
1 Medium carrot
½ White onion
1 - 2 Clove garlic (based on preference)
2 Chopped scallions
1 Deseeded jalapeno (or leave the seeds if you like spicy food) or ½ Green Pepper
1 Cup already cooked Chicken
1 ½ to 2 Cups of any borth you like
2 - 4 Tablespoon leftover rice - Optional
Spices:
¼ Teaspoon Coriander
Pinch or small teaspoon of turmeric - Optional
¼ Teaspoon curry
Pinch of black pepper
¼ Teaspoon cumin
Note: I used a smaller amount of spices because the broth is homemade and I had made sure it was well favored. Increase the amount to your liking if you are using store bought broth.)
Whipped Fenugreek:
1 1/2 Tablespoon powdered fenugreek (for two)
1 - 2 Clove garlic (based on preference)
Chive
Cilantro
1 Jalapeno (Deseed if you do not want this to be spicy)
1 lemon (Or 1 1/2 if your Helbah is too bitter for your liking)
