A Brief History of Kahramanmaras Tarhana
The Kahramanmaras tarhana, known to have been made since the Dulkadir Principality, has a distinct characteristic. According to the people of Kahramanmaras, tarhana is a winter staple. Kahramanmaras tarhana, made by cooking peeled wheat (wheat) like pilaf, cooling it down, mixing it with yogurt, and spreading it over raw wheat, is long-lasting and does not spoil easily. Its longevity makes it easy to consume in sufficient quantities when needed. Furthermore, because yogurt and wheat are rich in protein and starch, tarhana is very nutritious.Tarhana was made during the Dulkadir Principality. It is rumored that Yavuz kept tarhana as a supply during his campaign to Egypt.However, this matter has not yet been definitively determined. Research is ongoing. During the Egyptian campaign, Yavuz passed through Elbistan and received supplies such as bread flour, rusks, and meat, as well as barley, grass, and straw for the animals. However, tarhana was not included in the supplies. However, since Yavuz Sultan Selim's mother Ayse Hatun (Gülbahar Sultan) was from Kahramanmaras, Stanly Keer describes in detail in his work The Lions of Marash how tarhana, made with a mixture of yogurt and wheat rice, was spread on the dew in Kahramanmaras during the summer, and how the sweet scent of tarhana spread throughout the city with the breeze blowing after noon.
Making Tarhana Soup with Turnips:
Kahramanmaras tarhana is made into a soup and consumed. However, adding turnip juice gives it a distinct flavor and aroma. The preparation is as follows: soak the tarhana in a pot of cold water overnight. In the morning, stir in the chickpeas, which have been soaked in water for twelve hours. Add a sufficient amount of salt and finely chopped peeled turnips, and cook on the stove. Keep a pot of hot water handy to add water to the soup, which thickens as it boils. Continue cooking until the crushed garlic is completely dissolved. Once the soup is cooked, pour melted oil with mint over it, and crush a few cloves of garlic and stir. Tarhana soup, a mixture of thyme, mint, black cumin, garlic, and turnips, with mint oil drizzled over it and garlic added, is ready to serve.
