My new favorite book, “Olive Trees and Honey” by Gil Marks, is the source of this delicious soup. If Kefir is not available to you, substitute plain yogurt. This soup is best served freshly warm just as it is done, and is traditionally served after the main course. The long total time for preparation includes 4 hours of soaking the split peas before making the soup, which I included as “cooking” time.
This is from Everyday with RR. I haven’t tried it yet, but I am typing it up for ZWT II. 4 servings. 25 minutes
A yummy blend of fresh fruits with a delicious dressing….make sure you use fresh lemon juice and zest…it is key to the recipe. And don’t forget the mint! Posted for ZWT5….from Danny Boome Ltd.
This delicious yogurt soup just “Hits The Spot” on a hot summers day! You can find variations of this recipe from Eastern Europe to the Middle East. I especially loved the yogurts in Turkey, Iran and Greece. If possible, try making your own home made yogurt. I use a Salton Yogurt Maker and the yogurt comes out rich and creamy. However, a good substitute is the Greek yogurts found in some of the bigger supermarkets.
A delicious recipe that is great for family gatherings. This is one variation of it, there are several.
