Olgita`s modest notes!

Turlu

One more turkish dish called "TURLU" that my mother-in-law taught me how to cook. It is very easy and delicious! Actually I am sure that they cook somethink like this vegetable ragout in all countries... Here is Tusrkish variant:

Еще одно блюдо, которое меня научила готовить моя свекровь. Как говориться просто, но со вкусом! Не уверена, что это чисто турецкое блюдо, так как рагу можно встретить в каждой стране. Вот это турецкйи вариант:
aubergine, onion, potatos, vegetable marrow and beef (or chicken).
баклажаны, лук, кабачки, картофель, говядина (или курица)


everything should be cut into small cubes
все поеразть кубиками


add some tomato past mixed with water for color (turkish people don`t like white color food, fooв should have COLOR, that`s why they use tomato paste not only for taste but also for color)
разбавить томатную пасту водой и залить рагу (турки не любят безцветную еду, белые соусы и т.п., поэтому очень часто в пище используется томатная паста не только для вкуса, но и для цвета)


put the baking tray into the oven for about 1 hour
постваьте противень в духовку примерно на 1 час


This food Turkish usually serve with pilav (rice with little fried noodles)
это блюдо обычно подается с пловом (рис и жареная лапша)


BON APPETITE!
ПРИЯТНОГО АППЕТИТА!

No, Olga...I personally don't cook anything similar to that. It's my Mom who does all of that sort of cooking. I'm honestly more of a baker than a cook. :smile:
