Cuisine

Serbirev, an indispensable part of the traditional Şırnak food culture in winter, is made by cooking grains like wheat, chickpeas, and lentils over low heat with chortan juice. This highly nutritious soup is frequently cooked especially in villages and traditional houses. You can look at the Harita section to examine the locations and see where you can find this flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of wheat for ashure
  • Half a cup of chickpeas
  • Half a cup of green lentils
  • 3 pieces of chortan (dried yogurt) or strained yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes and mint

Preparation

  1. Soak the wheat and chickpeas overnight and boil them together with lentils the next day until soft.
  2. Melt the dried chortans in hot water to bring them to a smooth ayran consistency.
  3. Slowly add the melted chortan juice to the boiled legumes and bring to a boil while stirring constantly.
  4. After the soup thickens and cooks, serve it by drizzling hot butter, mint, and red pepper flakes on top.
