Could this have been something the early Crusaders had eaten?
Cilantro and Pine Nuts Salad
The famous Arab geographer al-Muqadasi, writing in the year
985 CE,
noted among the marvels of Jerusalem pine nuts called
kadam, which
are unrivaled anywhere on earth.
Ingredients
200 grams pine nuts
Olive oil
A bunch of fresh coriander (cilantro)
A bunch of fresh parsley
Fresh lemon juice
2-3 garlic cloves, crushed
A little vinegar-wine I use balsamic vinegar)
Salt
Roast the pine nuts carefully in a small pot on a low flame,
using a
little oil. It is important to stir constantly.
Don't do other things in the meantime! Stir all the time and
make sure
the pine nuts do not burn.
With a large, sharp knife chop the coriander and the
parsley, place
in a bowl and add the pine nuts, which have by now cooled.
Squeeze in lemon juice, drip in a little olive oil, season
with garlic,
vinegar-wine, and salt.
Taste, adjust the seasoning, and serve.
A few green onions, very thinly sliced, can be added to the
salad.
