(Martin Luther King Day)
We had our cooking(eating!?) program at Zemine's house.
It was a national holiday, so a few guys also came there,
Mariko's husband, John(teacher), and my husband.
I think it was more like a party at lunch time.
Zemine did decorate a table beautifully.
And her hospitality to her guests... great as well!
The Turkish lunch started with traditional soup made with
olive oil. There were plenty food on the table and
all of them were wonderful! Almost of them seemed to
make from scratch, even pickles and bread.
Topic dish of the day was KISIR, it was like couscous salad.
Zemine said it was like snack. As soon as I had heard that,
I imagined some Japanese dish..."Monja-yaki."
Recipe is following.
She emailed the recipe to us after the event.
After having fantastic meal, we had another to taste!
She prepared Turkish dessert for us!
I'm not sure a name of the dessert but I'm wondering
if it's "Halva" made form Semolina (Zemine, is it right?)!?
Not so sweet, nice and rich, it was also delicious!

☆ When she was making Kisir PHOTOS ☆
Spread them over a flat pan. Easier to mix them up.
This red pepper is a little coarse.
