Servings
Ingredients
1 oz holba , ground
1 cup cold water
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 pinch salt
0.5 tsp s'chug , according to taste


Directions
1 Place ground holba in a flat dish and cover with water. Soak overnight or at least 6 hours in refrigerator.
2 Pour off water and gently add more, taking care not to unsettle the holba, which has now become like a flat, hard mass. Gently swish the water around and pour it off. This is very important to remove any last traces of bitterness.
3 Put holba in an electric mixer and beat on high, gradually adding up to a cup of water to reach desired consistency. It will become frothy and light in color. Add the lemon juice, salt, and s'chug, and beat for another minute. Taste and correct seasoning.
4 Taste and correct seasoning. This keeps for at least 5 days in the refrigerator.
Additional Information
For variation, grate a tomato and mix it with some holba. Serve immediately.
