Kurdish appetisers/meze

PostAuthor: AlbaSaab » Tue Oct 10, 2006 1:11 am

I would be very grateful if anyone could give me some advice on what to serve my Kurdish friend when he comes to visit me. I need food that can be eaten like a buffet type of thing, along with drinks, so cold food would be ideal. I know that salads and dips are very popular, but I wouldn't mind trying something quite adventurous, as I'm a pretty good cook, (I know, it sounds big-headed :wink: ). So, nothing would be out of the question, as long as I can get the ingredients. :D Thanks in advance.

Yeah indeed strange that nobody replied to this thread... :shock:

I must have just not seen it myself...

You should definetly serve do/dew :)

Mix natural youghurt with some salt (not much), add some Dill (a herb) and some water... That's one way...

OR you could do the same with what is called "Kefir" instead of youghurt... But don't mix in much water if you use Kefir...

Sorry I don't know if you use the same names in English... But I think those (Dill & Kefir) are international words for these two products...

You could also serve a nice dip; youghurt, with herbs and spices - and use cucumbers to dip in... 8)

Ah! Yes that sounds nice. Thank you. Sounds a little like the Indian samosas.

What do I do with the "Do/Dew? Is it for dipping? I know what dill is, but I have no idea about kefir.

Is dew the same as doq??

I've never heard my family call it dew before...maybe I wasn't paying attention or maybe it's a local thing?

If it is you might want to add some mint to or else it gives you gas :wink:
Look to your history and roots to find your true self.

Yeah - but that is a specific reference to the yoghurt version... We use that too - but only to the yoghurt (mast) and water (aw) version of it... :)

The other one - made when people go to Zozans (Highlands) - are a bit different - because of the style of making it - it's not yoghurt (yet) when they mix in the dill and some water...

Yes...

But what has that got to do with anything? Kurds can drink alchohol too, if that's what you're aiming at... :roll:

I wasn't aiming at anything.... You put a wink at the end of your post. I know Kurds can drink alcohol, "especially" if they're not Muslim.
