Pilpelchuma comes out of Libya, made its way through Israeli kitchens, and lands here as the backbone of this dish. Chilli, garlic, caraway, cooked down slowly until it turns dark and sweet rather than sharp. The carrots go straight onto the coals and stay there past the point most kitchens would pull them, so the outside collapses into smoke and the inside holds. Tahini yoghurt underneath to catch it all. Three ingredients doing a lot of work.
Burnt carrots, pilpelchuma, tahini yoghurt. On the menu now.

600g of lamb shoulder, roasted low and slow until it gives way to a spoon. Finished with a charred tomato and fig raheb that cuts straight through the richness. Sweet, smoky, a little sharp. Built for the middle of the table.

Forty eight hours in the making. Our focaccia is slow fermented so the crumb stays light and pillowy, then baked hard for that blistered, salt flecked crust. Torn, dipped, gone in about ninety seconds. Served with whipped butter, every single service.
