Peymacun Recipe (Turkish style pizza)

noreply@blogger.com (Yesim) — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 14:04:00 +0000

This dish originally cooked with ground meat and called "lahmacun", this is the version with cheese, in turkish cheese mean "peynir" so we call this "peymacun" :)
The size is normally bigger, I wanted to make it smaller, it's a nice appetizer, mine is a bit crispy, the way I liked it, if you don't like crispy, you can add a bit water in the cheese mixture or maybe chopped tomato, with tomato juice it'd be softer.

Ingredients

For the dough:

2 gl of flour (300 gr)
1/2 table spoon salt
yeast
water (1 gl)

For the topping:

100 gr white cheese
chopped parsley
1 egg
black pepper
red pepper

I used dry yeast, mix all ingredients for the dough and knead. It should be soft as your ear lobes. Add flour or water as needed. Let it rest around 1 hour.

For the topping mash cheese, mix with the other ingredients.

After the dough is ready, you can cut it in smaller balls. If you open thinner it will be more cripy the way I like. It is around 5 mm, I make my peymacun like small circles, you can make it bigger.

Open the dough, lay the toppings all over. Cook for 15-20 minutes into preheat oven 200 degrees.

Serve warm.

For kofte: meat, grated onions, garlic, egg, bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, red pepper and cumin; mix them all and knead for 5 minutes, you can make the shape however you like, and with little oil fry them or if you like you can prefer to cook it in oven as well.

Banana&Kiwi Cake

noreply@blogger.com (Yesim) — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 14:57:00 +0000

Eid Mubarek to all. The Holy Ramadan ended yesterday and today is the first day of Bayram(Eid). Whole month we fasted, stayed away from bad things :) now time to celebrate it. Everybody is out to visit relatives & friends, the children knocking our door for chocolate :) Due to my dad's sickness we will spend the holiday at home, but we have too many guests so I made something to serve for them.
I am not a dessert & baklava person, so fruit cake is the best for me which is light and sweet :)

Ingredients

For the cake
4 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
4 heaping tablespoons flour
Half a cup of cold water
1 package vanilla
1 package of baking powder

for Creamer
3 cup milk
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon of starch
1 cup granulated sugar

1 package cream santis

For the cream, put the ingredients in a pot and cook till it become like custard. Let it cool.

For the cake, mix the eggs & sugar, after add the other ingredients and mix 4-5 minutes more.
Cook it in the preheated oven 180 degrees about 40 minutes.
For santis use the direction on the package.

After the cream got cold, add 3 spoons santis.
When the cake cooked and cooled, divide it (I could just divide 2), all the lines cover with the cream and I put banana & kiwi on it, but you may add whatever you like, and cover it with other cake lines and repeat.
On the cake cover with santis and fruits again, keep it in the fridge at least 1 hour.

Bodrum Mantı (Fried Turkish Ravioli)

noreply@blogger.com (Yesim) — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 13:59:00 +0000

I know it is been a long time since I wrote but I had some reasonable excuses.
My dad suffered a big operation, stayed many weeks at the hospital. While we were thinking he was recovering, there were some complications, thank GOD he is better now, at home.
Hard times also good to understand your real friends, some of friends made me disappointed, some other made me surprised and felt they are more closer to me than I thought before.
Anyway this is life, all the bad and good things are for us. The most important thing is we are healthy now and I'm back with a nice recipe. :)
I tried this at a restaurant by a friend recommendation, and I didn't feel regret at all!!! It is amazing, delicious, called Bodrum mantı, as far as I learnt, it is cooked in Bodrum, which is a port city in the southwestern Aegean Region of Turkey.

Ingredients

2 cups flour(300 gr)
1 egg
125 gr. butter
125 gr. mince
1 onion
2 cups of yogurt
Enough salt
Black pepper
Red pepper, garlic.
Mint

For the dough, put flour, egg, 1/2 sp salt and enough water and knead it. When it is ready, divide it in 2 pieces and open it with rolling pin, it should be thin around 1mm.
Honestly mine wasn't thin enough, if it is thin, it'd be much better.
On the other hand with some oil cook chopped onions, add mince with salt & black pepper.

Cut each dough sheet into squares of about 1.5"x1.5". Put a very small piece of filling at the center of each square. Continue until the dough is finished.
when all the mantı are ready, fry them for some seconds, they will be cooked so easy, drain oil.
Melt the butter, add the tomato paste, some red pepper.
I like yogurt with garlic, so mix your yogurt with chooped garlic, you know if you eat this, you have to eat it with garlic.
On your mantı, add yogurt and sauce; on the top add mint and you can serve.

Bon Appétit.
