Here is how you make Lebanese Spicy Fish Recipe Samke Harra:

Preparation:Rub fish with white vinegar and salt then rinse with cold water in order to tame down any smell. Grease the cooking tray with a tiny sprinkle of olive oil so it doesn?t stick, cut slits in fish (or just lay the filets on the tray if you bought filets), rub a tablespoon amount of olive oil and sprinkle a few drops of lemon juice on the fish filets. And if you?re cooking a whole scaled fish, then insert lemon slices inside the fish for flavoring. Bake at 300 degrees F for 20-25 minutes. If it looks like it?s getting dry, squeeze a bit more lemon juice on top of the fish.Sauce: In a small pan, mix 1 cup of pine nuts with 1-2 tablespoon of olive oil and cook on medium heat for about 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Take half of the pine nuts and grind them with a mortar and pestle, you will need to add them to the sauce. Keep the remaining pine nuts for garnishing at the end.Mince about 17 cloves of garlic, add them with 1.5 cups of lemon juice in a pot, add 1.5 cups of tahini, 4 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of salt, 5-6 tablespoons of coriander or to taste, 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper or to taste (if you like spicy food, spike it up with 2 table spoons or to taste). Heat on stove to medium/high, stirring constantly (very important so they don?t stick or burn). If the sauce looks too thick, add a cup or 2 of water. It should have a liquid consistency at the end. Bring the sauce to a boil while keeping on stirring non-stop and then lower heat, add the smashed pine nuts then keep on cooking on low heat and stirring until you reach about 20 minutes cooking time for the sauce.Once the fish is done, lay it out on a serving platter that is at least 1 inch deep, pour the cooked tahini sauce on top of the fish, garnish with parsley and browned pine nuts, serve hot with pita bread and enjoy Sandwich: If you?d like to make it into a sandwich, pour the fish + sauce along the diameter of a pita bread, add lettuce and tomatoes, roll and enjoy. Notes: We?ve tried the Samkeh Harrah with fish like Salmon and other fish, and our personal honest opinion is that it tastes best with Red Snapper or fish from the Rock Cod family so try to try stick to it. And if you happen to try it with a different type of fish and ended up with a tasty fish let us know.We hope you enjoy it, and let us know how it turned out www.mamaslebanesekitchen.comServing Size:?4 cup Servings.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LEBANESEKITCHEN.
