Chicken Siron Recipe
Today, we are together with siron, ziron, sinor or silor, one of the favorite flavors of Eastern Black Sea cuisine. Its name varies from city to city, from region to region. The reason why I chose the name siron as the title among the many name options is that it is known by this name outside the region. To be honest I learned other names after I started working on the recipe. I attribute this to the fact that food and excursion programs shoot mostly in areas that use the name siron.
I find it very common for local dishes to differ in name and content, I am happy with this variety. When this issue of diversity opens up, I always want to remind my example again; kaygana. Kaygana is a food made differently in almost every region in Turkey. I think this is a great wealth. But this is not the case for everyone. Many people do not welcome a meal that they have adopted since childhood to be called with a different name or made with different ingredients. I think it's nice to see something you are familiar with from a different perspective. It could be something you would never like, something make you wonder and try, or something you never thought of but would love. You can skip it, you can try it differently once or change the way you do it completely. In any case, you put a new information in your pocket. I think it's not a bad acquisition.
But what happens when you argue someone you do not know about a food. Let me tell you what will not happen first. Nobody takes someone who has an aggressive attitude seriously and nobody accepts information written in such an attitude. All you will get is aggression. But if you explain how you do it and share the name you use politely, you will throw a penny in the information piggy bank of many people. I am always open to your generous donations of information about the siron.

- Lito: This is the first I'm hearing of siron, but is definitely not the last time it will be on my table! Delicious! And the few ingredients and easy preparation totally belie the grandeur of this dish. It looks so beautiful on the table, is very filling, and the combination of the crunchy tops and dumpling-like bottoms of the siron is really delightful. The flavor, too, is magnified with simplicity—the roasted tomato paste provides robustness while the lightly spiced yogurt combines in a very pleasant way! My young child was an immediate fan!
