Refresh Yourselves in the Summer with Jajik!

Yesterday I gave you the recipe for rice pilaf. In Turkey rice pilaf goes very well with Jajik, which I will explain here in this post. "Jajik" or "Cacik" in Turkish, is a commonly prepared appetizer in Turkey and can be a replacement for a bowl of salad. It's perfect for hot summer days, refreshing and nourishing. If you are fed up of eating salads you can try jajik for a change. This recipe is for 2 servings, after a try you can play with the amounts I give here, according to your own preferences. The main ingredients are cucumber and yoghurt, adding the others are up to you.

Kale Stew

This robustly green and nutritional plant is a common vegetable of the Black Sea Region in Turkey. I know this stew with corn flour since my childhood. It is cooked nearly everyday in the homes of the Black Sea. It can even be eaten at breakfast. I’ve been to many restaurants and I haven’t aeen any dish that gets anywhere near my homemade recipe. They are either tasteless or the colour is black. I say firstly fulfill my sight and then my tummy, and offer you my reipe of georgious green and 100 % natural Kale stew.
