Notes

Here are a few tips
  1. For an even sweeter taste than the one in the recipe, add brown sugar or agave nectar. The latter is less harmful than sugar as it is more natural
  2. For a starter or a side dish, don't put brown sugar or agave nectar but instead, add salt and pepper to taste
  3. Delicious as a dessert accompanied with a plain yoghurt
  4. Goes very well as a side dish with a North African or Middle East meal such as tajines
  5. If you take it on a hike, carry it in a lunch box
