Ulköy is a traditional Turkish dish that is typically enjoyed during special occasions or as a treat. It consists of thin noodle strips mixed with olive oil, onions, and herbs, creating a delightful balance of flavors.
Recipe for Ulköy:
Ingredients:
– 2 cups semolina (fine cornmeal)
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 large onion, finely chopped
– Salt to taste
– Fresh herbs like dill or parsley (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Semolina: In a large bowl, combine the semolina with salt and gradually pour in enough warm water to make a smooth, soft dough. Knead until it forms a ball.
Divide into Strands: Divide the dough into small pieces, about 1-inch cubes. Roll each piece between your hands to form thin, long strands or “noodles.”
Cook the Noodles: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent. Carefully add the semolina noodles to the pan.
Season and Cook: Stir gently so that the noodles are well coated with the onion mixture. Cover the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the noodles are tender but not mushy.
Serve: Sprinkle fresh herbs over the cooked Ulköy just before serving to enhance the flavors. You can enjoy it as a side dish, snack, or even with some yogurt or cheese for a richer taste.
Enjoy your homemade Ulköy!
