Ingredients

6-8 chicken drumsticks, without skin
2 cups (360g) sour trahana
¼ cup olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, grated
4 cups (946 ml) chicken stock or water
2 roasted red peppers from the jar, diced
A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
4 ounces (115g) feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

Season the chicken drumsticks on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet or pot over medium heat and add ¼ cup of olive oil.
Place the chicken in the skillet and brown 5 minutes on all sides.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the onions. Cook until the onions are soft and golden. About 10 minutes.
Add the grated garlic and warm through for a few seconds.
Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
Add the diced red peppers, the trahana, the chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the trahana is al dente. There will still be liquid in the pot. The tarhana will soon absorb it all. Remove from the heat.
Garnish with chopped mint and feta cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

SIMPLE TRAHANA SOUP WITH LEMON AND OLIVE OIL

Simple Trahana Soup With Lemon and Olive Oil image

This is just about the simplest dish to make with trahana, yet I find it incredibly satisfying and refreshing. I like it both hot and cold; it is cooling on a hot summer day and comforting on a cool one (we were in the middle of a bad heat wave when I was testing this week's recipes). The soup is adapted from a recipe in Diane Kochilas's new cookbook: "Ikaria: Lessons on Food, Life, and Longevity From the Greek Island Where People Forget to Die." My favorite herb to use with the soup is fresh dill. If you want to add more ingredients, simmer vegetables of your choice in the broth, or add blanched or steamed vegetables to the soup when you serve it. Broccoli would be great, as would peas, beans, or sugar snap peas.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups sour bulgur trahana
8 cups water, vegetable stock, or chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons lemon juice, strained
6 tablespoons crumbled feta
Plain Greek yogurt for garnish (optional)
Chopped fresh herbs for garnish

Steps:

In a medium soup pot heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat and add trahana. Stir until coated with oil, about 1 minute. Add water or stock and bring to a boil. Add salt and pepper to taste, reduce the heat and simmer, stirring often, until trahana is tender and nutty tasting and the broth slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes if using home-made bulgur trahana (if you use semolina or flour trahana the time will only be 8 to 12 minutes and the mixture will be more like a porridge).
Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Spoon into bowls and top with a drizzle of olive oil and a tablespoon of crumbled feta. Garnish with plain yogurt if desired and chopped fresh herbs such as mint, parsley or dill.
