M'Sayr - refreshing fresh 'pickle' / salad (Libyan)

M'Sayr - a traditional Libyan pickle/salad



Fresh hot chillies, cucumber and carrot all cut into strips or diced in a spicy fresh lemon brine with chopped garlic added - this is a very tasty and appetising 'salad' where the peppers are not eaten unless you really enjoy that.

The beauty is in the actual liquid part which you can sip in small quantities from your spoon or sprinkle over the rice and sauce.

Lemon lovers will really enjoy this.

 Spices are : ground caraway, a tiny bit of ground cumin and ground red pepper. You will need to add water to cover the mix and quite a bit more and approx 1/2 teaspoon or more of salt. Add the salt little by little stirring it in a tasting it as you go. It should be quite salty but take care not to overdo it. Also some chopped Dill or Coriander leaves can be chopped and added to give more flavour.
