Have this tomato essence ready. Finely dice the remaining tomatoes. Caramelize the sugar in a coated small pan over medium heat. Add diced tomatoes, stir constantly. Deglaze with rose petal water and the tomato essence, allow to reduce completely. Stir in pomegranate syrup, baharat and harissa. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Black falafel:

  • Soak the black chickpeas in 4 liters of water overnight, pour off the liquid, rinse the peas in the sieve under running water. Finely chop the onion and garlic, sauté in a little olive oil until translucent, stir in the currants and reduce completely. Puree the onion mixture with the pistachio kernels, cumin, coriander seeds and sea salt in a blender, add a little water if necessary. Shape this dough into small balls (approx. 3-4 cm in diameter) with moistened hands, deep-fry in hot vegetable oil at 160 degrees for approx. 3 minutes, degrease as much as possible on kitchen paper, keep warm in the oven under aluminum foil.
