Mıcırık Aşı Recipe

Mıcırık Aşı Recipe

Mıcırık aşı is one of those dishes that deserves a better name. Mıcırık means clumsy person in Turkish. Mıcırık aşı is an excellent recipe in terms of both taste, ease of preparation and availability of ingredients (at least for Turks). The place of dishes prepared with rice is quite wide in Turkish cuisine. While these dishes are sometimes prepared without tomato paste, as in olive oil dishes, they are sometimes cooked with tomato paste as in this recipe.

The best examples of rice with tomato paste are undoubtedly the purslane with rice, the zucchini stew with rice and the spinach stew with rice dish. The best examples of olive oil dishes are olive oil carrot stew, leeks with olive oil. In cases where we do not put the rice in the meals, it is very rare that we sit at the table without rice. If we don't add rice to the dish we make rice pilaf and put it next to main dish. That's why I definitely mention this in my articles about preparing a food menu. If you have a rice dish on your menu, don't make pilav, just prepare a salad.

For me, the most suitable salad for mıcırık aşı is salads with yoghurt. Zucchini salad with yogurt or purslane salad with yoghurt can be a great complement to mıcırık aşı, for example.

After saying the basic things about creating a menu, we can go back to our recipe. Mıcırık aşı is made from dried eggplants which is obtained by drying the parts taken out while the eggplant for stuffing is dried. Since I do not dry my own eggplants at home, I naturally do not have an eggplant that has been dried in this way. So, I just use standart dried eggplants prepared for dried eggplant dolma.

Enjoy ...
