Turkish Bride Soup - Annabel Langbein
In Turkey this soup is traditionally fed to a bride the night before her wedding to sustain her through the day ahead. It delivers a deeply satisfying flavour but is quick and easy to make. Don’t skip the lemon and mint – they bring the dish alive.
This soup is very quick to make and gives you a great dinner or an easy-to-pack lunch.
What to do with Preserved Lemons
Preserved lemons will keep for quite a while in the fridge. They are preserved, after all. Kept refrigerated, these lemons will keep for about a year, so don’t feel that you have to rush to use them up before they go bad.
Turkish-Style Eggs with Aleppo Pepper
Aleppo pepper is one of those ingredients that you don’t know you’re missing in your life until you try it. The deep purple spice has a smoky, fruity, raisin-like quality that you might recognize from Turkish lamb and eggplant dishes. Its mild flavour is reminiscent of the Mexican ancho chile but earthier, with some hints of chocolate and coffee.
