“Adapted from a modern Egyptian recipe given to Sementawy by a Bedouin woman

cooking the relish inside a Cairo cemetery. The recipe was translated from

Bedouin into Arabic then into French, finally into English as Sementawy, seated

on a tombstone and sipping sweet Bedu tea, wrote it down as her feet were

painted with henna.

 

When a person stops to eat out in the desert, the done thing is to throw pebbles

into the shade before sitting down. This is to scare away spirits, the

djinns/efreets who might like your food and curse it to give you stomach

aches.â€
