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.
Who doesn't like desert? Especially if it's light and easily digestible deserts are the happy ending to every meal. It's summer and choosing light deserts is a must if we want to go out and about in the summer heat. The classic Turkish desert Sütlaç is a perfectly light desert that mothers make for their children. It's totally easy to make, and so deserves to be "the first desert recipe" on this site. Come on and try this happy combination of milk rice and sugar!
