So, what is hamei?

Hamei is a traditional ingredient used in Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly in Yemeni and Israeli dishes. It is made from a mixture of crushed garlic, hot peppers, and salt that is left to ferment for several weeks. The resulting paste has a pungent, sour, and spicy flavor with a distinctive aroma. Hamei is often used as a condiment or seasoning for stews, soups, and meat dishes, adding a complex depth of flavor. It is also believed to have health benefits, such as aiding digestion and boosting the immune system. While not widely known outside of its cultural context, hamei is a unique and flavorful ingredient worth exploring.
