TCC Syracuse Women’s Club offered Turkish cuisine cooking classes last
Saturday November 17th 2012. Attendees enjoyed actively
participating in cooking hummus and
rice pilaf with orzo during the class. The class was in the kitchen of
Turkish Cultural Center. Experienced volunteer chefs, instructed and helped the
participants improve their cooking skills. And of course, they joined the feast
at the end of the class! Next session will be on Saturday, December 15th
at 2.30pm at Turkish Cultural
Center. Hurry up, the space is limited!
Hummus: Hummus is a Middle
Eastern food dip made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic. In Turkey, it
is popular in Mediterian region, specially in Hatay. Hummus is very health food.
It is high in iron and vitamin C and also has significant amounts of vitamin B6. The chickpeas are a good source of protein
and dietary fiber; the tahini consists
mostly of sesame seeds, which are an excellent source of complementing the proteins in the
chickpeas.
Rice Pilaf: Pilaf is a very common side dish, which is cooked with rice. It suits
very much with vegetable dishes or with meat. In Turkey, it is cooked with orzo.
Afiyet olsun...
