Kammoon hoot is an ingredient in a Libya recipe. But what is it?
I think it could be a spice. The recipe was for a spicy fish soup called Sharbat Hoot and Sharbat seems to mean fish.
Answers:
Kammoon hoot is the spice 'cumin'.
Also 'Sharbat' means soup, and not fish.
Fish is 'Hoot'. The reason for the name 'Kammoon hoot' is that cumin is often used in fish recipes in North african cuisine.
it is a kind of paste
It is similar to Harisa, but with a bit more spices, not as hot but can be done with harisa, extra cumin, lemon peel and sesame paste.
