RE: Cookbook With Me #5 - Battling winter with Armenian yogurt sorrel soup + 2 Greek steemians' recipes!
here you have it :-)
For sure I will cook what you so elegantly present here on your blog. Yammi!
As I was born in Russia and my ancestors are from the Ukraine (Germans) I know the soup very well. We grew sorrel in our garden even here in Germany and my mom actually cooked it once a week. Back then I did not like it so much but today I find it delicious. Cold version I haven't tried, though.
I am looking forward to "Pilmeni" when I visit my family. Any special recepies on them?
Awesome! Privet! Govorish po ryskii?!
Lots of traditional (Cypriot, in my case) dishes I didn't like when I was small, but now I adore!
When I was a kid there was a place in Rostov (on Don) that made the best pilmeni I ever had in my life. Nothing ever came close to those. The place is gone now.. '(
Pilmeni isn't one of my mom's specialties I'm afraid (she's Russian) and I haven't tried making any myself as of yet.
Tell me more about your own version of sorrel soup, if you don't mind, I'm curious! Do you call it Tanov? What ingredients do you use, like what kind of yogurt? Any info would be appreciated as I'm interested about these things, especially traditional recipes.
Thanks for reading (and voting)!
Privet! Nimnoschka- :-)
actually less then "nimnoschka" - some rude words and things like knife, fork and hunger - LOL
oh, sad to hear the the place where you got the worlds best Pilmeni is gone. :-(
For the recepy I must admit that as it was not my favorite dish, I did not ask my mom and also did not let her write it down. She passed away last year. But I can ask my aunt and the mothers in my community. I will go there on Christmas and maybe come back with some recepies.
We call it "Saurump-Borscht" - but I guess that is a very unique creation of mixed terms German-Russian. I have a lot of silly words in my repertoire noboy understands.
So far: Doswedanje!
All the words you need to survive!
Sorry to hear about your mom. I lost my dad a few years back from cancer, so I feel you...
Does that translate to something like "sour borscht"? There's an immense number of soups going by the name of borscht in Russia, to the point where the word becomes meaningless. Plus, most red borschts I don't like, but I like green borschts.
Ia toje malo govoriu. No mnogo ponimau!
Looking forward to any secret recipes you might snatch from unsuspecting relatives!
otschin charascho! :-)
LOL, yes, for survival it might be enough.
You are right, it means "sour borscht". I don't like the red one neither and hated to eat it during my childhood. Today I am okay with it but still is not what I am craving for.
Ja ni magu gavari .... more ... toschi! HaHa!
Thank you for your kind words. Losing parents makes up a whole new realm to adultery. We are growing with the event of a death of a loved one. Though missing and pain are still there, appreciation and love equal that. All the best for you.
Following you with pleasure. Take care. For tonight that is all of steemit! Good night from Hamburg.
