Kurdistan cuisine
Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2008 5:25 pmKurdistan's cuisine :
Kurdish cuisine uses many fresh herbs and vegetables, and lamb and chicken are the primary meats. Breakfast is typically flat bread with honey with delicious sheep or buffalo yoghurt, and a glass of black tea. Savory dishes are usually served with rice or flat bread. Lamb and vegetables are simmered in a tomato sauce to make a delicate stew that is usually served with rice. In the spring and summer, salads and fresh herbs are often on the dinner table. Kurds also make many types of kofta and kubba, dumplings filled with meat. During the festival of Nawroz Kurds enjoy picnics in the countryside, often taking a large pot of yaprakh. Also known throughout the Mediterranean as dolma, yaprakh is a dish of freshly picked vine leaves stuffed with rice, meat, herbs and garlic, and then simmered in a large pot. Black, sweetened tea is Kurdistan’s favorite drink. The Kurdistan Region has fertile soil and a hot summer climate ideal for growing grapes and orchards such as pomegranate, fig, and walnut. The Region’s honey has a clear light taste and is often sold with the honeycomb. Kurdistan also produces excellent sheep and buffalo dairy products.
