I prepared this for a weekend lunch when I wanted to use up all the veggies in my fridge. The avocado cream from my kibbeh post and the cooked tomato pulp (remains from a tomato sauce that I had prepared from the night before) were a great accompaniment to serve with some toasted pita pockets. I will try posting the tomato sauce recipe as soon as I can.
