Vidar,

I am requesting a recipe for rice pudding. I am on a soft diet for a few weeks. Rice pudding will work!

I am traveling to Urfa and Antep in 2 weeks. Cannot wait to see Gobeklitepe, Karahan Tepe and the mosaic museum.

Then back to Izmir for a week to visit friends. We lived in Izmir in the 80's. My husband was and Air Force doctor at the American hospital.

Thank you,

Katie Meyer

Hi Katie, this might be the recipe you're looking for: https://vidarbergum.com/recipe/sutlac-turkish-rice-pudding/

Enjoy Urfa and Antep! I wrote about my visit to Antep a while ago, you can find it in the archives if interested :)

Cheers,

Vidar

Vidar- thank you for this…your hummus recipe is similar to mine, although the spicing in mine is more along the lines of my Antepli mother-in-law’s version., i.e., more highly spiced. Two comments/suggestions: instead of water, I always use the chickpea cooking liquid. And yes, absolutely mandatory to use dried chickpeas. Secondly, the lemon juice really needs to be fresh, not bottled. Big difference in flavor. Thanks for this- in US easy to buy prepared hummus, but freshly made is so much better!
