Dear friends, I just learned that the fire in LosAngeles still continues. I have lots of viewers from USA. I pray for the people and all living creatures hope it ends soon. So sad to watch all
It was a beautiful moment to learn when you went from the sadness of a funeral, yet they shared treats with you to going to a joyful gathering of ladies picking wild greens. The mallow leaves look similar to a cultivated decorative flower here called nasturtium. They aren’t related but it’s a delicious plant (both greens and flowers). While I don’t speak Albanian, I noticed the woman tried to include Italian words. That’s how you understood “spinach” because the words are close between English and Italian. Thank you for this enriching moment and showing how you created a beautiful dish with the mallow 💚🌱
Thank you for sharing the information about nasturtiums! I checked yes it looks similar but I dont remember seeing the plant here. Yes she had common words and was saying "ciao"😊 I am happy you enjoyed all the details. Hope other viewers will feel the same with a different topic :)
So I have never seen this leaf..how interesting that they stuff it like they do grape leaves. You called it a mallow leaf, so I am wondering canim if there is also Jute mallow grown in Turkiye. Since there is a substantial syrian population there have you seen this leafy vegetable? Mulukhiyah (Arabic: ملوخية, romanized: mulūkhiyyah), also known as mulukhiyya , molokhiyya, melokhiyya, or ewédú, is a type of jute plant and a dish made from the leaves of Corchorus olitorius, commonly known in English as jute, jute leaves, jute mallow, nalta jute, or tossa jute.[3][4] It is used as a vegetable and is mainly eaten in Egypt, the Levant (Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan), Sudan, Cyprus, Libya, Tunisia and Algeria.[5] It is called saluyot in the Philippines. Mulukhiyah is rather bitter, and when boiled, the resulting liquid is a thick, highly mucilaginous broth; it is often described as "slimy", rather like cooked okra.[6][7]
As a student of natural and alternative medicine, I loved this video video! I’ve heard of mallow plants from my time in Egypt. It’s a very common dish there and I absolutely loved it. Mallow is a fantastic plant nutritionally as well as medically as you discussed. I hope to go to Turkey someday. Your videos make me more and more interested in Turkish culture. Keep going! ❤ from Colorado, USA.
Simply marvelous, all of it. The history, culture, food, people, the place, it's unfolding so naturally. Grazie to our Albanian friend. Good usage with the paper bag. Always love what you share here, thanks.
Linda from Albania speaking Italian not Albanian, have been living in Italy for 20 years, visiting and going back to Italy in 3 days. Love all the East Mediterranean cuisines, fresh ingredients and foods. Love stuffed cabbage with meat and Swiss chard (vegetarian) .... so yummy and nutritious. Nice video and love the cats/dogs.😊
It's interesting to see that even near a big city, like Istanbul you can find eatable greens! Where I live,here in Greece,the local people collect wild greens in the mountains, there are many different kinds, very tasty and healthy! Either we boil them and serve them with olive oil and lemon juice or we prepare pies!
Hello Aysenur! Such an interesting video! Thanks for sharing, you never cease to amaze me and enlighten me, we too grow the common mellow in Malta and it is called “Hubbejza tar-raba” but I never knew it is edible by humans, I see the sheep and goats grazing and I assumed that it is only good for animals. I learn more from you than my fellow Maltese . I introduced the purslane salad to my family and my sisters family and it is quite enjoyed. I shall have to pick some common mellow when I go on my walks . Thanks again and God Bless you all. ❤️👏🌹🇲🇹
What a lovely video! I love your cooking videos but I love most when you combine travel/exploration with cooking. I learn so much from you. I incorporate some foraged greens in my cooking. One of my favorites is purslane, a wild “weed” common in California and many other places. I didn’t know that it was edible until I traveled to Türkiye for my honeymoon 25 years ago! There we met a young Turkish couple who introduced us to purslane salad. Since then I have been charmed by Turkish people, culture and cuisine. We love that Turkish cuisine involves plenty of healthy vegetables and fruits. Thank you for your lovely videos. Please post more recipes for healthy vegetable based dishes.
I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the video and are incorporating foraged greens in your cooking! Lovely to hear your story that you got introduced to it by Turkish couple 😊 we love purslane and I have different salad recipes with it too you can check on the channel.
So cool that you picked your greens and actually cooked and ate them! SubhanAllah 😊Its unheard of here in Canada! Mosque was so peaceful thanks for sharing
There's a lot of wild plants that's edible. We in South Africa also enjoy wild plants, fruits and mushrooms. Some are true delicacies, thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of the world. We're blessed to receive abundant rain within our high summer in the city we live which is known for its droughts. Take care. From Port Elizabeth, South Africa. 12/01/2025 05:35
Looking forward to watching you make Sarma with that new plant. What a lovely exchange with the women picking the Mallow in the field. Here we pick wild stinging nettles (Urtica dioica,) and use them instead of spinach in a pie. We also make tea with them when dried. Thank you for sharing! - watching from western Canada :)
I am glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing this about stinging nettles, we have it too and using it in gözleme (filled flatbreads) borek and the regional pilaf dish I mentioned in the video 😊 greetings from Istanbul
Machallah i love your videos and you recipes so much ♥️♥️ in my country Lebanon 🇱🇧 we make this dish like you did with olive oil and we serve with yogurt. But i live in USA 🇺🇸 and i miss this food so much. We love Istanbul me and my husband and we stay there once every year for 1 or 2 months it’s amazing and beautiful city♥️♥️
A culture that knows how to forage from their surroundings will endure for a long long time- beautiful. 2 days w/o electricity and Americans are freaking out! Beautiful city! To be surrounded by so much history- amazing.
In 1991 when my 3 boys were very young, we had a terrible ice storm. We were without heat and light for almost two weeks. I did not “freak out”, I put a wok in my fireplace and cooked for us. It was so cold I could use my entire kitchen like a walk in refrigerator. I can’t speak for other Americans, but we are not all so fragile in times of need. 😊
We have to be prepared for everything. It is always good to live simple maybe so in such cases. Thanks for sharing @hollybeeme your story. Older generations might think more practically. Hope new generations will also have that.
When we were living in the Emirates, we got used to having 'Molohia', which is a leafy green very popular in Egypt. It is known as 'Mallow' in English and is grown in the rich aluvial soil of the Nile delta. Not fully sure, but I think I've read that it is the leaf of the Jute plant. The most simple recipe I've made is to cook it with lamb meat in a slow cooker for 6 hours, and it tastes dilicious. Then I love Spinach and cook it with beans, lentils or meat. The lady was speaking a dialect of Italian, probably from the Adriatic Sea coast region.🌻🌹🌻
The mustard leaves curry is a famous delicacy in north India. It’s called Sarson ka Saag and it’s eaten with makke ki roti (flatbread of maize). You make such beautiful videos love all of them
Assalamu alaikum! Dear aysenur, nice episode. Always enjoying voice of prayer and captured cast on your video shoot. Everyone, everything is look so..lovely. bye till next episode with lot's of love💌 ma fatma.🙂
As a malaysian that can speak italian. I can understand that albanese nonna speaking😂its such a fun thing to watch. May allah bless u and ur family ms aysenur🤞🏻greetings from malaysia❤️
Olá querida amiga da Turquia 🌻🇧🇷, eu gistri muito da viragem. Também gostei muito de ver a malva, awui no Bradil alguns descendentes de arabes fazrm o doce de gergrlim com tahine, acucsr ou mel, sgua e o extrsto da rsiz da malva, que também ê vonhecida vomo planta marshomrlow. I exyrato da malva da uma textura inexplicável ao doce, muito especial. Eu tdnho feito sopa de lentilha com suas receitas, sao especiais! Na minha região e comum o artoz com lentilha e cebolas fritas crocsntes., spenas. Antigamente era comum a malva de jardim, ela cresce como um pewueno arbusto e tem lindas flores, brsncas, vermelhas, e algins tins de rosa. Temos também a mslva chrirosa, nome popular, as folhas kemvram muito as folhas do gerânios, e quando passamos a mão nas folhas elas liveram perfume o perfume ê semelhante ao perfume de rosas. 😊
She was speaking italian aişe abla, not albanian. I am from albania and would like for you to visit albania. Indeed we have many things in common because we were part of the great osmanlı devleti. And the most important thing we have in common is the religion of Islam. Elhamdulilah.
Thanks for sharing the details dear. So as far as I understand then she is Italian maybe but now living in Albania then?😊 anyways yes lots of common things to bind us, how beautiful. Would love to visit Albania someday
Biz ebegümecini saplarıyla toplayıp doğruyoruz. Biraz su ekleyip pişiriyoruz, yumuşayınca, zeytinyağı ekleyip içine 3-4 yumurta kırıyoruz. denemenizi tavsiye ederim.
@@TFT many Albanians speak Italian and will converse in it when traveling since far more people speak and/or understand it in the Mediterranean region than speak Albanian.
I also wanted to say that it is lovely that you show some islamic content on your channel. I was wondering if it is easy to find places to pray while sightseeing in Istanbul as a tourist? Does anyone pray in public? Is it allowed?
