Kataif with almonds - my not so sweet version
Hey Steemians,
One of my favorite cuisine is the Turkish one, unfortunately their desserts are way tooooo sweet for my taste buds. Don't get me wrong: I eat baklava, kataif if I see it.
Yesterday, I went shopping to the best Turkish butcher's from Bucharest and decided to buy some special kataif noodles. Another reason I bought them is that my boo always teases me that I can't do this recipe. Hahaha! Guess what?!
So, the recipe is quite simple.
1 package kataif noodles
200 g sugar (the original recipe is with 500g sugar, but come on!)
150 g butter
Almonds
Vanilla extract
500 ml milk.
- Put the kataif noodles in a pan. Put the butter over.
- Cook them in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Make a syrup of milk, sugar and vanilla extract. Bring milk to boil.
- Pour the syrup over the noodles.
- Add almonds.
- Cook for another 10 minutes.
- Leave it to cool.
Enjoy!

I've never tried Kataif before. Your version looks delicious, though. Thanks for sharing! I will try it out some time. :)
hey, thank you. you should try it, it's really delicious. I recommend you the pistachio kataif or kunefe kataif (this is with a special cheese).
Thanks for the tip! :)
I hear you! We lived for many years in a Turkish neighborhood in Ghent, Belgium. We loved their food, but indeed desserts were always too sweet! Great recipe@foxxycat
Thank you @amy-goodrich. I've heard that their rice milk pudding is super delicious and not so sweet. Never tried though :)
