Turkish Tomato Dip
with tomato, peppers & Parsley

Turkish Tomato Dip is a favorite on our Shabbos table, perfect for a challa spread with Babaganoush, Chummus and Oil and Olive Dips. It goes together in minutes in the food processor and gets better by the day.  I make a large batch to enjoy throughout the week to toss with pasta, cook with chicken and as a spread in sandwiches and wraps. 

This is a Tried & True dip from a beautiful Israeli cookbook by Joanna Gur, "The Book of New Israeli Food." This is one recipe that I won't mess with the ingredients or amounts; it comes out just perfectly as it is.

Sharing bowls of spreads, nibbles and dips together breaks the ice and bonds those around the table. Eating is about connecting, says Rabbi Akiva Tatz in his book Worldmask . Bonding with others is an important aspect of eating, read more......
