Those who like to host guests at home know this. Kısır is the favorite tea time dish of everyone, young and old. It is accompanied by the essential pastry , potato salad, olive oil wrap and sweet and salty cookies. There is no need for another meal that day. Everyone in the house can consume it from morning to evening without getting bored.

The most common way to prepare our favorite tea time meal, kashir, is to soak bulgur for meatballs in hot water, let the bulgur swell in that heat, and flavor it with other ingredients and eat it with pleasure. In Hatay and Antakya style kefir, brown bulgur is used and the bulgur is softened by just wetting the hand, without swelling the bulgur with hot water. In addition to these, it also has plenty of sour and bitter flavors, resulting in a stew with a taste that will instantly finish off a whole bowl.

If you have never eaten Hatay-style shortbread made with this method before, we recommend that you add it to your must-try list. We leave the video of the recipe below. Get the ingredients ready, let the barren fun begin!
