İftar will be,

İndian pilav ´curry and vegetables´

Meat with brown sauce

Soup OF COURSE

Salata ´green salad´

Lots and LOTS of drinks ´oriental drinks´

Hoşaf ´date included in it´

Mmmmm,make it döner kebap ´home made of course´ instead of the meat

Whatever in the fridge will have it for İftar !

İ have also bun rice vermicelli,anyone has quick recipe for it ? 

No not for that, but since I returned from Turkey I´ve been perfecting my pilav skills.  I quite like a mixture of 2 prts rice and 2 parts bulgar.  I then toss anything in that I like . . . fresh parsley, coriander, onion, a little red and/or green pepper (the naughty ones as my friend calls them), bell peppers, salt, black pepper . . . . and so on

Oh I don´t think I should be talking about food at this moment, it´s making me hungry!!!!

 İ didnt know we can cook bulgar with rice,usually we cook bulgar alone,and eat it like rice

İ will try it tomorrow i think,it can goes with steak

But today i made that Rice vermicelli with vegetables and soya sauce,wish it will turn out good !

5 mins left on Ezan for İftar,so it is BETTER be good

1 minute......

 Neither did I     I decided to experiment.  Actually I didn´t give the right amounts . . . I meant to type 2 parts rice and 1 part bulgar (not 2 parts bulgar).  I fried the chopped onion before adding the rice.  I hate raw onion but love it cooked.

When cooking very large amounts of pilav a friend (Iraqi) of mine covers the bottom of the pan with sliced potatoes, to prevent the rice sticking/burning.  These potatoes are delicious too

I just had the most delicious German hering salad, ingredients: finely chopped sour hering pieces, very small pieces of cooked potatoes, sweet dill pickles and pickled red beets, fresh onion, all finely chopped. Add a bit boullion, lemon and very little oil.

*****************************************************************

HERRING SALAD (German Heringsalat, Low Saxon Heernsalaad) comes in two basic varieties: white and red. It consists of diced Bismarck herring and diced pickled cucumber, sometimes diced cooked and pickled celeriac as well. Red herring salad has the addition of diced cooked and pickled beets. All this is tossed in mayonnaise. Using sour cream instead of mayonnaise results in what is considered Swedish or Scandinavian herring salad. Herring salad tends to be a part of buffets and is eaten as a side dish, as an hors d’euvre or on dark bread for lunch, for supper or as a snack. It can be bought ready made in virtually all North German food stores and is available wherever fish snacks are sold as well as at any restaurant that serves traditional local fare. Try it on Vollkornbrot, a dark whole grain bread baked at low temperature.

 Thans PT,i made it,and it came out nice

İ also fried the onion,and the green pepper but just a little,and it turned out nice really

But i didnt try the potatoes thing tho,some people here do this when making dolma for same reason ,we usually add slices of tomato ,onion,greet pepper,carrot,and what ever you want at the bottom  to add scent,taste to it,but we dont eat them.
