#Baklava. Resep authentic yang mudah dan lezat, selezat oleh-oleh dari Turki.

For recipe in English, please visit this link






Definisi baklava sendiri adalah sejenis pastry manis yang terbuat dari berlapis lapis lembaran pastry phyllo yang tipis dengan taburan -umumnya walnut dan/ atau pistasio, hazelnut atau almond diantara beberapa lapisannya. Dan direndam dalam sirup gula yang kental atau madu. Ada juga jenis lain yang disiram susu (sütlü nuriye baklava).

Salam hangat..... Merhaba dari Turki.

Sebelum scrool down kebawah buat intip resepnya, saya mau kasih tahu kalau postingan ini saya sertakan dalam Indonesian Food Blogger event challenge bulan Mei dengan thema "Middle East". Kalau kalian foodie dan suka masak juga, cepetan klik link nya disini buat baca ketentuan dan cara ikutannya. Ayo... ditunggu sampai akhir Mei ini lho (^,^)
I was so exciting dengan tema Idfb bulan ini sebab daily I cook Turkish food! Makanan dan kebudayaan Turki sangat kental dengan pengaruh Timur Tengah, terutama di daerah South east. Karena wilayah geografi Turki yang berbatasan dengan beberapa wilayah bekas Uni Soviyet (north east), Timur tengah (south east) dan Eropah (bagian barat), menjadikan Turki sebagai negara yang unik baik dari segi kebudayaan dan cuisine nya. Banyak sekali hal yang bisa digali dan diketahui dari negara asal suami saya ini.

Awalnya saya ingin menampilkan cuisine dari negara tetangga middle east yang lain yang juga sangat mendunia kelezatannya. I like Moroccan Lamb yang dimasak dalam tagine. Atau Chicken Mandi dari negara Yaman yang sudah saya bikin sebelumnya. Atau saya ingin sertakan Palestenian Musakhan, bahkan famous Hawawshi dari Mesir...ppffff.... 
Semua masakan middle east are rich! seperti kaya-nya masakan Nusantara kita. We should digging deeper to their history... so you'll find keanekaragaman makanan mereka.

Sedikit gambaran wilayah Turki yang "unik"
Tapi setelah memilah milih dan buka-buka file buat bikin apa, finally saya pilih ..taarrraaa.. Baklava! Why baklava?

Siapa yang nggak kenal Baklava? Kenalan dulu yuk buat yang belum pernah dengar ..... hehehe...😄  Sebab baklava ini termasuk dalam top famous dessert around the world lho. Baca link nya disini, disini dan disini juga. Jadi hampir semua orang sudah familiar, pernah mencicipi atau ingin mencicipi baklava ini. 
Oleh karena 'pesona' baklava yang sudah terkenal selevel Angelia Jolie.. (hahahaha...apa'an sih?!) maka saya pengen tampilkan baklava ini di even Idfb kali ini.

Pistachio Butter Cake Truffles

Assalamu'alaikum...... Merhaba dari Turki....

Coklat, siapa yang gak suka coklat? Ya kalau kamu salah satu yang gak suka mungkin postingan saya hari ini boleh kamu lewatin ^,^

Karena hari ini saya mau bagi resep Butter cake coklat truffles. Saya sih termasuk yang moderate saja kalau makan coklat, sedang-sedang saja. Tapi suami dan anak saya... wohooohooo... they are sweet tooth banget! Ya mungkin karena suami saya orang Turki yang terbiasa dengan dessert yang manis-manis apalagi kalau creamy dan nyuklat.
Kalau anak saya sih maklum, anak kecil mana yang gak suka coklat coba? ^,^

Apa sih istemewanya butter cake truffles ini? Biasanya saya bikin pure dari cooking chocolate plus cream sebagaimana layaknya basic chocolate truffles. Tapi kali ini saya ingin buat dengan bahan dasar cake. Karena kebetulan saya punya sisa Marble butter cake yang karena saya bikinnya porsi besar (bagi keluarga saya)--kita jadi bosan makannya.

Jadi ceritanya manfaatin cake left over hasil baking 2 hari lalu. Sebenarnya cakenya sendiri masih bisa dimakan atau disimpan di freezer sampai dengan sebulan sih..tapi males ah nyimpen-nyimpen segitu lamanya. Kalau pengen lagi ntar baking lagi aja ^,^

Pistachio Butter Cake Truffles
Jadi kalau kalian punya cake sisa atau bosan dimakan gitu aja, coba deh resep ini. Untuk bahan-bahannya bisa dikonversikan sesuai banyaknya cake yang ada. Kalaupun gak punya cake sisa tapi pengen bikin, cake dasar apapun bisa kok dipakai, tetep aja konversikan bahan lainnya sesuai banyaknya cake. Paling gampang baking cake dari cake box siap pakai saja kalau ingin membuat cake truffles ini.

Bülbül Yuvası Tatlısı / Turkish baklava: Nightingale's Nest sweet pastry

Selam.......Merhaba from Turkey everybody....





Bülbül Yuvası Tatlısı or nightingale's nest, from its name I think you already can figure it out why this dessert looks like that. When I search around the net to find the recipe I found many versions of this nightingale's nest. Some make from the dough (similar to shortbread) while some make from phyllo pastry.

And since I'm a big fan of baklava, I choose to make this dessert from phyllo dough. Besides it's easy and practical, I love the sweet yet crunchiness of thin phyllo sheet melting in my mouth.

Serve it with a generous sprinkle of pistachio I'll assure you this is going to be the best dessert in your chill days and a great companion for your coffee time.



For making this Bülbül Yuvası Tatlısı you need thin rolling pin (in turkish language we call it oklava). The diameter about 5 mm (thinnest one- I use this). You can use any kind similar e.g straw or chop stick, just make sure it's long enough to roll phyllo sheet (at least 5 cm longer than your shorter side of phyllo sheet).
The thinner your rolling pin, the smaller log/ coil you'll get.

Bal Kabağı Tatlısı (Turkish Pumpkin Dessert)

Selam everybody.... Merhaba from Turkey...

What's in season now? 
Red-orange color?
Apples?
Thick and colorful sweater?
Pumpkin?
Hard blowing wind?

In my house, it's " flue with cough season".... so sad. Autumn always comes with those seasonal sickness. 
First person who brought it from outside was (like always) my husband. Maybe because he's the only one in our house who interact with many people outside. So he is easily infected (maybe) from somebody outside there then my kid can not far away from her father whenever he's in home... So you can guess who's gonna get next..
  

With two sick people around me I MUST stay healthy... I think every mom MUST stay fit and healthy all the time (^,^) .. if you understand what I mean.. A mom is like everything is her family. Mom is a chef, accounting, laundry and cleaning department, baby sitter... you mention it... a mom is a motor who must work 7/24 ... Imagine if that motor broken....

Aşure tarifi / Ashure / Noah's Pudding / Turkish mix fruits, grains and nut dessert for special occasion Aşure day

Aşure Gününüz Mübarek Olsun Dualarınız kabul Olsun


Merhaba From Türkiye 👋


First of all, I'd like to thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you can come back, again and again, to check up on any beyond Indonesian or Turkish food or something sweets that you might love. Your comments and emails brighten my days and make this simple blog thing worthwhile 😍💛

Aşure tarifi / Ashure / Noah's Pudding / Turkish mix fruits, grains and nut dessert.| Çitra's Home Diary. #aşure #asurerecipe #turkishdessert #porridge #middleeasterncuisine

Aşure Günü or in Arabic ʻĀshūrā’ (عاشوراء) day is the 10th day of Muharram month (first month in Islamic calendar). In Islamic believed many important occurrences happened in this month. This month also important for Muslims and we also do Fasting a couple days in this month.
In Turkey, people make this aşure in Aşure day (Aşure Günü). Aşure or ashure is Turkish dessert congee made from mix dried fruits, grains, and nuts. Besides serve among the family, this dessert is generally shared among neighbors, relatives, and friends. Also calls Noah's pudding

And this year is my first time making this aşure... for few years before mostly I got this sweet congee from my neighbors. From some aşure I got from them I saw the ingredients is very much vary from each person, neither the grains they mix in or the dried fruits or nuts and even topping when they serve.

But when you go to the traditional market to buy "aşure packet/set" generally it's consists of whole wheat grain, dried apricot, dried figs, golden sultana/ raisins, hazelnuts, almond and peanuts with clove and cinnamon as spices.

You can really vary add or cook this aşure with ingredients you have but still, it should mix from grain (whole wheat), dried fruits (fig, apricot, raisins) and nuts (white bean and chickpea)... the rest are really according to your taste. This aşure or Noah's pudding should have a cinnamon aroma. Some people add few cloves but others didn't.

Turkish Baklava easy Recipe

Resep dalam bhs Indonesia bisa dilihat di sini










Selam...Merhaba from Turkey everyone.....

Sacrife feast has just finished few days ago... It was happy holiday for me and family. Just like in Ramadhan bayram (Eid al-fitr) as tradition, we visited families and relatives and some close friends.... Ate a lot of baklava and chocolate candies! :)
Yes, in Turkey baklava is served traditionally during major Islamic feast like Eid al-fitr or Eid al-adha together with turkish delight, chocolate and candies.

Baklava is a rich sweet pastry made of many layers of phyllo dough filled with finely chopped nuts between a few layers soaked in thick sugar syrup (or honey)
Every people in the Middle East, Eastern Mediterranean, Balkans, and Caucasia; Turks, Arabs, Jews, Greeks, Armenians, and Bulgarians introduce baklava as their national dessert. When we consider that all of these regions once belonged to the Ottoman Empire, it is possible to think of Baklava as an Ottoman dessert.

Well, I won't talk about baklava history... it could be such long long writing and we must read many valid sources you can googling or go to local library. I need rest and you need recipe, right? (^,^)
For Kurban bayram (eid al-adha) last week beside I made this cevizli baklava (baklava with walnut filling) I also made Şöbiyet baklavaBoth turned to be great bayram's treats (^,^)
Here I will share my easy recipe on how to make baklava at home. Why I call it easy? cause I use ready bought phyllo dough for baklava. Some people (including my mother in law) still made their own yufka, but for me, rolling the dough into such a veerrryyyy thin and looks transparent is not my skill (YET) ^,^
Indeed.. homemade baklava mostly have slightly thicker layers than store bought baklava in patisseries..it's all about "ROLLING" the dough..hehehehe..

Şöbiyet Tatlısı / Turkish Sobiyet Baklava Recipe

"Kurban Bayramınız kutlu olsun....Happy Eid al-Adha 1436 H"




Assalamu'alaikum..... Merhaba from Turkey...

Eid al-Adha or feast of sacrifise or in Turkey calls Kurban bayram is the great festival of Islam to honors the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son as an act of submission to Allah's command, before God then intervened, through his angel Jibra'il and informs him that his sacrifice has already been accepted.

The Sacrifice Feast comes about 70 days after the Ramazan Festival. The meat from the sacrificed animal is preferred to be divided into three parts. The family retains one third of the share; another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbors; and the remaining third is given to the poor and needy.

Like Ramadhan bayram (Eid al-fitr) traditionally baklava and other sweets also serve in Kurban bayram here in Turkey. Generally people make at home or buy künefe or baklava or Rıvani or turkish delight and chocolate sweets and other sweets for serve to the guests.

I didn't make baklava at last Ramadhan bayram, so I promise my self I would make some baklava at Kurban bayram or next ramadhan bayram.... So here my homemade Şöbiyet baklava recipe using ready bought baklava phylo sheet. There 's no reason using store bought phylo sheet but for practical and easy way to make delicious baklava with very thin phylo layer and crunchy in every sheet.

Yufka or phylo sheet for making baklava dessert is different for making börek pastry. Phylo sheet for making baklava we call it baklavalık yufka, it has very much thin, dry and almost transparent layers while phylo sheet for making börek pastry has thicker and slightly moist layers.

Künefe or kanafeh or kunafeh or kunafah or ... I don't know any other names of it.. But basically it's sweet pastry made from wiry kadaif filled/ layered with unsalty soft cheese and soaked in sugar syrup. Served hot or room temperature.  Künefe is popular from Turkey and from some Mediterranean countries (as a former Ottoman Empire).

Künefe is popular in Turkey and in some Mediterranean countries (as a former Ottoman Empire).
 

In Turkey, some cities (like Hatay, Adana, Mersin, Sanliurfa, Mardin) had claimed where this Künefe originated from. But according to sources Künefe originally from Arabian. The soldiers of the Ottoman Empire which were sent on the road to the establishment of the Republic have gone to Yemen. Some of the troops here had made some "sweets/ dessert" and then later when they (ottoman soldiers) have returned to their home they started to learn making this dessert. Künefe came to Mersin the end of the year 1930, and to Hatay at 1940s.

I ate this sweet pastry the first time a few years ago when I got to Turkey for 1st time ( I think it was around 2008). And my first impression was this dessert was away too sweet for me.. any Turkish dessert was too sweet for me as they mostly soaked in thick sugar syrup.
But after a few years of living here slowly, my taste has adapted, but still, I eat some sweets in moderation.

Paris Brest / French Brest with Pistachio Mousseline

Selam Everybody... Merhaba From Turkey.. (^,^)

Choux pastry, or pâte à choux, is a light pastry dough used to make profiteroles, croquembouches, éclairs, French crullers, beignets, St. Honoré cake, and gougères. It contains only butter, water, flour, and eggs. Like Yorkshire Pudding or David Eyre's pancake, instead of a raising agent it employs high moisture content to create steam during cooking to puff the pastry.



Choux pastry is usually baked but for beignets it is fried. In Spain and Latin America, churros are made of fried choux pastry, sugared and dipped in a thin chocolate blancmange for breakfast. In Austrian cuisine, it is also boiled to makeMarillenknödel, a sweet apricot dumpling [citation needed]; in that case it does not puff, but remains relatively dense. They are sometimes filled with cream and used to make cream puffs or éclairs--Wiki

Pistachio Macarons recipe, Step by Step and Tips

Selam everybody.... Merhaba from Turkiye 😃

Today's post again is part of my journey (read; adventure) of macarons... I think I'm in heart to these tiny little sweet. I mean, who doesn't? And also they are too cute and pretty much "photogenic"..(^,^).. you know what I mean.... They are just perfectly beautiful in front of camera. I always love to add some cute and girly properties for them... I think they match each other (^,^)

Well, I'm not photographer.... but I always love to present what I made in my little kitchen look genuinely scrumptious for my readers because that's what food photography about-at least that's what I believe. And you must try the recipe to experience the taste.


And back to macarons topic... many of my friends said they they are afraid to bake them because they said it's tricky and mostly end up with failure.
Believe me, I'd been there before! Before I got "success story" on baking macarons... I was like my friends before... If I'm not mistake calculate maybe I failed baking this macarons about 4 or 5 or 6 times since 2 years ago.
