Halim Recipe

  • First, wash the wheat (300gr) 2-3 times, soak them in lukewarm water for at least 24 hours in a large pot. Since the wheat absorbs the water, you need 2-3 times larger pat than the size of wheat.
  • Remove water from the pot and put it on high heat.
  • After boiling, lower the heat and add some oil, let the wheat cook so it will be crushed. Since the wheat sticks quickly, stir the soup regularly.
  • Use a wooden spoon to prevent the wheat from rolling.
  • In the meantime, cook the meat (300gr) with one onion, cinnamon, and two tablespoons of water. After baking, chop the meat.
  • When the wheat is crushed/well cooked, almost two hours before completing cooking, add wheat, meat, and salt to the pot and let it simmer for two hours. While cooking, stir it regularly since meat adhesion to the pot quickly and gets burned.
  • In the final hour, add some butter and taste with cinnamon and sugar, but not a lot.
