This dish is eaten as soup; it can be served hot or cold. This is a very old Assyrian recipe passed down in our family. Ingredients:
2 (32 ounce) containers plain yogurt |
1 egg, beaten |
1 1/2 quarts water |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
5 hot chile peppers, chopped |
1 bunch celery, diced |
2 bunches swiss chard, chopped |
1 pound spinach, chopped |
Directions:
1. Beat yogurt and egg together in a large mixing bowl; add water and flour. Beat the mixture with an electric hand mixer until smooth; transfer to a large pot over medium heat and stir chile peppers into the mixture.
2. Bring the yogurt mixture to a boil. Add celery, Swiss chard, and spinach to the yogurt mixture. Continue cooking until the celery softens, 15 - 20 minutes. Serve hot or chill and serve cold.
