Hawa Hassan’s Salatet Summaq is a fresh Iraqi salad packed with ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, red onion, parsley, and mint. A simple lemon and olive oil dressing gets a tart, citrusy boost from sumac. It’s an easy, refreshing summer side that makes the most of peak-season tomatoes and cucumbers.
Unlike North African shakshouka, where eggs are poached in tomato sauce, this Yemeni version from Hawa Hassan stars scrambled eggs flavored with onions, jalapeños, and the warming spice blend hawaij. A drizzle of sahawiq, a bright herb-and-chile sauce, adds citrusy heat and freshness, creating a vibrant dish that’s both comforting and bold.
Hawa Hassan’s Awaze Avocado Toast transforms a brunch classic with bold Ethiopian flavors. Butter-toasted rye is topped with avocado, jammy eggs, spicy-sweet Awaze sauce, pickled onions, and jalapeños. Finished with fresh cilantro for a heavenly breakfast to kick off your day!
