Rubbah Charoset from the Temple Period - רובה חרוסת - Moretum

Step 1

Peel about 1 head of garlic and measure the cloves to weigh 50 grams.

Step 2

Put the garlic, hazelnuts, coriander, celery and salt into a food-processor and keep pulsing until all of the ingredients have been chopped up well and the mixture is smooth. Alternatively, for a more authentic experience and texture, you can crush all of the ingredients in a mortar, but it will take a very long time, probably close to 1 hour.

Step 3

Add olive oil and wine vinegar to the mass and keep pulsing the food-processor until you obtain a consistent mass. If you are using a mortar, then simply add the olive oil and wine vinegar to the crushed solid ingredients and mix in a bowl.

Step 4

The Classic Moretum should be rolled up into a ball and eaten together with bread in one bite. It can be served either at room temperature or after being chilled in the refrigerator.
