3. A recipe from TURKEY / ANKARA
Samphire is a wellness food. It's low in calories, rich in trace minerals that are important for
good health and it contains no saturated fat or cholestorol. Like many other Turkish regional
dishes and 'meze,' this starter is good for vegetarians and vegans, too.
Ingredients
 1 large bunch fresh samphire (about 2.5 pounds/ 1 kilogram)
 water for boiling
 1/3 cup olive oil
 2 or 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
 juice of 1/2 lemon
 lemon wedges for garnish
Preparation
1. Bring a large saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Fresh samphire is naturally very
salty, so make sure you don't add any salt to the water.
2. Once your pot is boiling, add the samphire, stalks and all. Let it boil for 10 to 15
minutes.
3. When the flesh turns brigh green and seems tender, strain out the cooked samphire and
plunge it in cold water to prevent it from overcooking. Drain off all the water. You can
also gently spin it a few times in a salad spinner.
4. Once the cooked samphire is cool enough to handle, you should be able to pull the
flesh off each hard stalk easily. It should come off in long, hollow tubes. Discard the
stalks as you go along.
5. Place the cooked samphire in a large bowl. Using your fingers, gently toss the
samphire together with the olive oil, garlic and lemon juice. Serve immediately
garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing.

24. Stuffed Cabbage Rolls - A traditional romanian dish for the
Holidays
There are no traditional romanian holidays such as Christmas or New Year without
stuffed cabbage rolls. Stuffed cabbage rolls are traditionally a winter dish. Romanians do
prepare for the winter in the fall, by canning cabbage for the holidays. Canning cabbage
makes what is traditionally known as sauerkraut, except that the cabbage is not sliced but
canned as whole cabbages. In America it is more difficult to find unsliced sauerkraut, but you
can buy the sliced/chopped version and use in combination with a regular fresh cabbage
instead.
Stuffed Cabbage Rolls Recipe (Sarmale)
Cooking time: 2 - 2 1/2 hours (preparation: 1 - 1 1/2 hour; cooking: 45 minutes; baking: 15
minutes)
Makes: 12 servings
Ingredients:
 1.5 pounds ground meat (combined lean beef and pork)
 3 tablespoons rice
 2 onions
 1-2 slices of bread, soaked in water
 2 sauerkraut cabbages (or 1 fresh cabbage and 1 quart jar of sauerkraut)
 2 tablespoons olive oil
 salt
 ground black pepper
 tomato paste - a small can
 sour cream

25. Preparation:
1. Mix the ground meat with one finely chopped onion, the soaked and mashed bread,
the washed rice, salt and ground black pepper. To obtain a more tender composition
add 2-3 tablespoons of water in the mixture.
2. Wash and drain the sauerkraut cabbages. Squeeze them.
3. If a fresh cabbage is used, you need to separate the leaves for filling. To do this, bring
to a boil a pot of water, and submerge the cabbage into the hot water for a about 20 -
30 seconds, then separate the outer leaf and cut the middle vein. Repeat until all the
leaves are separated.
4. If a sauerkraut cabbage is used, then the leaves can be easily separated.
5. Fill each leave with the ground meat mixture and roll, tucking in the ends of the
cabbage leaf. If the leaves are very big, you can cut them in half.
6. Finely chop the remaining of the sauerkraut. If you use fresh cabbage, chop the
remaining of the fresh cabbage and add the chopped sauerkraut.
7. Put a layer of chopped cabbage on the bottom of a large nonstick pot and one layer of
chopped onion. Add half can of tomato paste and the olive oil.
8. Arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls in layers. Add on top chopped onion, the remaining
chopped cabbage and the remaining tomato paste.
9. Add water to cover everything. Season it with salt and peppercorns (black pepper).
10. Bring to a boil and than simmer at medium-low heat for about 45 minutes. Add water
from time to time to keep the stuffed rolls covered to the top.
11. Preheat the oven at 375 F and put the pot in the oven for about 10-15 minutes.
12. The dish is better served the next day after baking.
13. Serve with sour cream on top. Traditionally, it can be served with polenta on the side.

Melomakarona Recipe
Ingredients
Dough:
- 1/2 liter Sweet Corn Oil
– 150 gr White Sugar
– 1/2 tablespoon ground Cinnamon,
- 1/2 tablespoon ground Gloves
– 1/2 teaspoon baking Soda
– 1 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
– Finely grated zest from 1 1/2 Oranges
– 100 ml fresh Orange Juice
-35-40 ml Cognac or Brandy
– 1 kg All Purpose Flour (you might need some more…)
Syrup: 400 gr Honey -200 ml Water – 1 Cinnamon Stick – 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice – 2-3
large pieces of Lemon Zest
OR : 200 gr Sugar, 175 ml Water, 1 tablespoon Honey, Cinnamon Stick, Lemon Zest
Topping: 100 gr chopped Walnuts
Directions
Most important is to have the ingredients ready to use. First I measure the sugar, the oil, the
cognac and grating of the Orange Zest
Cut the orange and squeeze the juice
I measure the spices, the soda and the baking powder. If you need half a tablespoon look at
the trick. You measure a full tablespoon, then “cut” into two…
Dough
Mix the oil with the sugar. Add the cinnamon, the gloves, the Orange zest and juice, the
baking Powder. For some weird reason we mix the Soda in the Cognac and add it to the mass.
Mix well. I use a hand electric mixer on medium speed.
Start adding the flour. The formula is: Flour-mix-flour-mix… until the dough is formed.
By 1 kg Flour you will get a rather soft dough. Work the dough for some minutes with your
hands.

29. To roll cookies, pinch a portion of dough off about the size of a very big walnut. Shape in
your palms into a smooth oblong shape, almost like a small flatten egg.
You can soft press the cookies on a grater to get a “a design” or create a design with a fork.
Place the cookies on trays covered with baking sheets, 2 cm apart as they “grow” during
baking.
Bake on preheated oven by 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes. In my oven they needed 40
minutes. They have to be light brown and firm to the touch. Watch out that they may need
less baking time in the second try as the oven will be very hot. They turn more brown when
they are soaked in the syrup!
You can also bake two trays at a time in Air by 150 degrees Celsius.
While Melomakarona are been baking, I chop the walnuts in the multi.
Honey Version: Combine honey, water, lemon zest and cinnamon stick in a saucepan over
high heat. Bring to boil, stir a bit, reduce heat and let it cook for another 5 minutes.
I place the Melomakarona (5-7 ) in a deep tray or a large saucepan and cover them with syrup.
I let them “sit” for 2-3 minutes so they can absorb enough syrup. I turn them once as they
need to coat from both sides. Melomakarona are more brown than in the picture below. You
can “cook” the Melomakarona” as in the Sugar Version below, but you must add occasionally
water as Honey thickens very much the longer it boils.
Sugar Version: Combine sugar, water, honey, lemon zest and cinnamon stick in a saucepan,
bring to boil, stir, reduce heat, cook until it starts to thick a bit. Lower the heat. Add the
Melomakarona in the syrup and let them cook for 4-5 minutes.
Take them out with a slotted spoon and place them next to each other on a serving plate.
Sprinkle the first layer generously with walnuts.
Repeat the procedure until all Melomakarona have been soaked with syrup and sprinkled with
walnuts.
