The warmest winter soup, trahanana, you have never cooked like this

In this season, one of the warmest and most delicious foods is trahanaja.

The traditional Turkish recipe is old and dear to us too. Who doesn't remember the cold mornings or evenings when the grandmothers used to come to us in front of the trahanana to warm up?

Usually, trahanaja is a food prepared at home, from dough cooked with yogurt and wheat flour (sour dough with wheat flour that is boiled with yogurt or milk and then dried in the sun and crumbled; a kind of slightly sour porridge that is made with this dough).

The fermentation process of trahana, which always takes place in the summer due to drying at high temperatures, has a few very simple ingredients.

According to the Turkish recipe, the ingredients are: plain yogurt, flour, red pepper, onion and tomato.

Likewise, trahanaja is served there in two variants: dry and liquid. The most common type of trahana is the second one, which is much simpler to prepare as a soup.

However, even if you have a simple trahana at home (according to the Albanian recipe with only yogurt and wheat flour), you can make an unusual soup with it. Here's how:

Preparation:

To prepare the soup, first put the trahana in a bowl of warm water along with spices (red pepper, ground red pepper or even a little black pepper).

Fry an onion in a pan for a few minutes until it becomes transparent. Mix a grain of tomato, which you finely chopped before, with the onions.

After that, pour the already softened trahana into warm water. If it needs a little more water, add it, checking that the soup has a thick liquid.

At the end adjust the taste with butter.

Good luck to you. /Telegraph/
