Notes
Yield is just under a cup.
A food processor can be used in place of the mortar and pestle.
If using a food processor the shatta sauce will be less chunky and more of a runny paste.
If using mortar and pestle, pound until desired consistency is achieved. I prefer mine semi chunky.
Enjoy shatta with with creamy chickpeas for brekky called musabaha.
