Mihlama

This recipe was sent in by Nalan Ozden from Turkey

Frankly I prefer to eat instead of cook but generally my friends want to me to cook mıhlama. I am a Blacksea person. My friends love it too. So I would like to share its recipe. Please try it. Thank you :)

Ingredients (for 3 people)

1 tumbler corn flour
3 spoonfuls of (yellow) butter
Salt
150 gr. yellow sheep’s cheese
2 tumblers of water

Instructions

First melt the butter in a pan.
Add the corn flour and fry.
Add all the water slowly and cook on medium heat, stirring all the while.
When the flour mixture is like a soft paste, add the cheese and cook for about 5 minutes.
Add as much salt as you need – if the cheese is salty, don't add salt!

Ready, Bon Appetit :) Eat by dipping chunks of bread in to the cheese mixture

The ingredients are easy to find, it is easy to prepare and it looks water-mouthering. Althought it might seem strange to eat a hot dish during summer time - IMO - I'll definitely try out your recipe. By the way, here in Northern Italy it's raining every single day...
