GERDU : Peeled Walnuts Shell the walnuts, wash and soak in boiling water for a whole day. Remove the thin peel and reserve in a recipient covered with water. Serve with salt. Use fresh walnuts if possible. BALAL : roasted Corn On a charcol fire roast very young Corn on the cob. When ready plunge in a big bowl of cold salted water, present on corn leaves. TCHAGALEH BADOUM : Unriped Almonds Very popular in Israel too, but mainly for preserves. Serve it with salt GODJEH SABZ :Sour unripe plums The small green sour plums are eaten with salt too.
