Trabzon Tereyagi

my home town is Trabzon
this is very fameus

I don't really know how to make different kinds of dishes with bulgur. I've just learned a little bit of turkish cooking - from my husband. But anyway. The way he taught me to make plain bulgur is really simple. First you "fry" the bulgur with a little oil and then put water, salca and salt into the pot. Then you basically wait until all the water has evaporated (remember to stir often! ).
My mother nearly had a cow when she saw I waited for all the water to evaporate. But if you strain the water out much of the salca will go too so that's why I'm doing it this way.

I also do it with pasta (makarna, not cake ) so that the salca makes a really nice sauce. Even though it's so simple it's one of the things I miss most about Turkey.
