Cuisine

Also known as mihlama in the region, kuymak holds a very important place in Trabzon culture. Cooked slowly in a copper pan, the secret of this delicacy is the stretching cheese and the butter rising to the top. It is generally served hot with cornbread.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of Trabzon butter
  • 2 tablespoons of cornmeal
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 bowl of grated kolot cheese
  • 1 teaspoon of salt

Preparation

  1. Melt the butter in a copper pan and heat gently until it foams.
  2. Add the cornmeal and roast until its color turns slightly and it smells fragrant.
  3. Add water and salt, allowing the flour to absorb the water, and bring to a boil.
  4. Add the kolot cheese to the boiling mixture, and cook on low heat without stirring until the cheese melts and butter rises.
