The Trap
If you've ever tasted the dvinity that is that white sauce they put on lamb and rice at the halal food truck, I NEED THAT RECIPE, they guard it better than Trump guarded classified documents. A bitch is having no luck. :(

These two, based on the ingredients, seem like the most plausible.


 
The sauce that you're talking about has slightly different variations depending on which country you're in. It's either made with a plain yogurt or sour cream base (yogurt is the norm).

First question is whether it has cucumbers in it. If it does, then it's more of a Tzatziki sauce which is usually served with meat and is more of a western Mediterranean thing.

If it doesn't have cucumber, then it's more of Labanieh which is often served with kibbe which is more of an eastern Mediterranean / Levant thing.

So, start with cucumber or no cucumber?

No cucumber, the sweetness of the sauce has me thinking this might be the culprit https://littlespicejar.com/halal-cart-white-sauce/

sour cream (or yogurt substitute), mayo, distilled white vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, dried parsley, salt n pepper, I'm a mayonnaise bitch and I def think I taste some in the sauce. Mind you this is an American food truck so it's kinda like Taco Bell or Chinese food where it's not really authentic compared to what you'd get in the respective countries.
 
The yogurt or sour cream (usually with a little added lemon) is acidic, so they do add a small amount of sugar to balance the flavor.

The alternative that some cooks will do other than mayo is to start with olive oil and a little onion/garlic which adds fat. The fat increases the flavor and makes it feel creamy. The only thing that makes me suspicious about mayo is that mayo sometimes contains pork fat which is not kosher or halal (which is why they use olive oil instead).

You're on the right track. The thing with these sauces is that they're like marinara sauce for Italians- it's a family recipe passed down and everyone has a slightly different version. What differs is the spices used and these subtleties like whether it's olive oil or mayo, vinegar vs lemon juice, yogurt versus sour cream...

You can skip any Hebrew cooking websites because yogurt sauce wouldn't be served with meat. Under kosher dietary rules, you can't mix meat and dairy on the plate (or in your stomach for 6 hours after a meal), so they eat tahini (sesame) sauce with meat instead.

Which circles back to this being "Americanized" halal. I know true halal food would taste like leaves and olive oil on my deep-fried North American palate.

This is very useful info. In my infinite grace I will spare you at the monthly Queen's Execution Lottery.
 
The best of the halal food trucks in my immediate neighborhood -- called King of Falafel -- has this this delicious cilantro-based green sauce which is absolutely heavenly when squirted over the white sauce which is squirted over the chicken.

I asked Ahmad (the King), and he says it's not z'hug, the Yemeni cilantro sauce. I think he said it's Algerian, and I can't remember what he called it. (It wasn't chermoula, a name I'd have recognized.)

If you want some cilantro sauce to go with it, get the z'hug -- spelled zhoug in this case -- in the refrigerator case at Trader Joe's. It's in the same place where you'll find the pesto and the fresh salsa.

I'm not sure what a Trader Joe's is but it sounds like the kinda place where the entrance is in the back, and I mean that in two ways. :lol:
 
I thougth halal was a religious way to kill animals “humanly “ by slitting their throat 🥹

It's not as much about being humane, as it is about ensuring that the animal is healthy and that all of the blood is drained before the cuts of meat are prepared.

Just like with kosher rules in Judaism, Islam has their own set of halal rules. Both kosher and halal have different "levels". Both are more about which foods can be eaten, the quality of the food and how food is prepared.

For example, both kosher rules and halal forbid consuming any part of a pig. Both ensure that all blood is removed from meat; you'll never see meat sitting in bloody shrinkwrap in the meat department of a kosher or halal grocery store.

Where they differ are on specifics about which foods can be eaten together; kosher rules is very specific about things like mixing meat and dairy which is permissible in halal. Alcohol is forbidden in halal; kosher allows alcohol that has been certified as kosher.

Both are a pain in the ass but if you're concerned about the quality of the food you eat, buying from a halal or kosher grocer or restaurant does ensure that you're getting food that is of good quality and prepared under clean conditions.

omg....we have something different but I have to say that in the winter months, cilantro in a tube has been a real find? Why did I not know about this????

We just made a chickpea curry this morning and the splurrrt of cilantro jizz was just the ticket.
 
Have you tried a prepared white sauce?
Kinda busy right now but ok sure, after I'm done swallowing I need your help finding this recipe. After Pinksaucegate I'm hesitant to order perishables online and I've never seen anything like that in local markets. This may come as a shock to you but Charlotte, North Carolina isn't exactly the epicenter of cultural diversity, our stores only sell BBQ sauce and ranch. :rotflmao: ](*,)
