Dried Tarhana Roasted

Hello Dear Friends,

You all already know about our Konya trip :) Those who don't know are also here. can watch episodes. This is from Somatçı, one of our taste stops in Konya. I mentioned in my post. While I was there, the dear Ulaş chef gave me very tasty gifts. One of these gifts was Bozkır Tarhana, which we cooked together and which I liked very much.

I had seen different types of tarhana before, but this is the first time I've met this type of tarhana. I was also very interested in serving the roasted tarhana with jam. When I asked why, he said that this tarhan, which belongs to the Bozkır district of Konya, was made with sour ayran, and that they served honey or jams so that the old ones were not greasy, so as not to upset the stomach. In other words, this tarhana was traditionally served this way after it was roasted.

The recipe I prepared according to the recipe on the back of the vacuum tarhana package was exactly the same :) Of course, I cut the measurements in half because I prepared it from 100 gr. Since tarhana has a strong unique aroma, I left the spice amounts as is. For the service I prepared last week I used pomegranate jam.

If you put it in water in the morning, you can prepare a delicious and satisfying recipe in 10-15 minutes.

Since I like their products very much, I wanted to share their sales sites with you. Somatci Natural's you should especially try their own additive-free jams.

Love…
