Now that you know how to make madzoon, here's a simple recipe, one that was my mother's favorite -- she loved to say it (she called it Yogurtlu Yumurta because her family was from Aintab) and she loved to make it. Simple. Scrambled eggs (hot) with several dollops of yogurt ((cold) spooned over the eggs! What could be simpler . . . or more delicious!
Another Aintab Yogurt recipe - very good in the summer for lunch. Make it with cold cooked spinach or with cold cooked pasta. Put about 1 cup of either one in a soup bowl, top with 1 cup (or more or less to taste) cold yogurt - stir the mixture. Then make two scrambled eggs using butter, and when they are done put them on top of the mixture. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteDear Ms. Marash Girl and Snorkelalot,
ReplyDeleteHello,
Native aintabian loves red powder pepper and garlic very much. As I am a native aintabian, I suggest you put two/three cloves smasshed garlic into yogurt and mix them. Then put them on yumurta(egg). You can olso add hot red powder pepper. (Still Marash -Kahramanmaraş-red powder pepper is famous in Turkey)
Aintap -Gaziantep- cuisin is number one or two in Turkey. Really you can taste different and delicious meal.
Best regards...
Dear Native of Aintep, Marash Girl ALWAYS uses Aintab red pepper in her cooking! She can't wait for someone (please take the hint!) to bring her a fresh batch from Aintab -- or Marash kirmiz biber will do as well!
ReplyDeleteHello again Mrs. Marash Girl,
ReplyDeleteI hope you know that hot red pepper paste. It is only used around here (Marash, Aintap, Urfa, Antakia) in almost all meal such as dolma, sarma, soup, eggplant, cabbage, potatoe, fresh and dry beans, meat. Its taste is so delicious.
Bone appetite...
Hello, Anonymous Native of Aintep! Thanks for sharing you cooking hints. The Armenian stores in Watertown sell hot red pepper paste, but Marash Girl's mother (Ainteptsi) and mother-in-law (Marashtsi) never used it, I think because the older generation had sensitive stomachs (I wonder why) and couldn't take the spice.
