Turkish: Börülce Salatasi
Here is one of my favorite salads. It’s especially perfect for hot summer days. My mum and grandmother used to prepare is when I visit them in Turkey. Actually they usually ask me beforehand and when I arrive, a long list of meals, salads and deserts are already waiting for me. I like this way :)
Ingredients for 4 persons:
1 kg of Cow-pea (canned version also works)
1 lemon
3-4 cloves of garlic
1 dl olive oil
Mint
Parsley
Sumac
Salt
Directions:
- Boil cow-peas until soft
(if canned, no need to boil)
- Let it cool down
- Smash the garlic
- Add lemon, garlic, salt, mint, parsley
- Mix all
- Decorate with sumac
Enjoy!

This is my mum’s standard cake when we are visiting. Why? It’s easy, it’s sweet for A, a bit sour for me, and not too unhealthy.
Ingredients for 8:
Ready pie dough with oat (“mördeg”)
Filling:
3 dl vanilla yogurt
2 eggs
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 lemon
2 dl berries (or 1dl jam) **
** I used the classic mix of blueberries and raspberries.
Directions:
- Spread the pie dough in a pie form. (ø 30 cm) Make sure it is covering both bottom and sides.
- Whip eggs and yogurt
- Add gridded lemon peel and a little lemon juice (can be left out if you are not a fan of sour)
- Add sugar and mix until smooth
- Spread the mixture in the pie form
- Add berries on top
- Place in the middle of the oven, in 200 C for 30 min, until the edges become brown and the filling is no longer loose.
Enjoy with a cup of coffee or juice!
