About Chraime
Moran Pinto’s chraime is a Sephardic fish preparation presented among Shabbat recipes from Israel. This version uses mullet fillets with onion, garlic and a tomato-paste sauce.
Sweet and hot paprika, a whole hot pepper and crushed red pepper flakes give the sauce its pronounced heat. Cumin adds an earthy seasoning beside the concentrated tomato.
The fillets remain within the sauce rather than forming a separate fried component. An additional paprika sprinkle is optional in the published version.
