Περιγραφή
Fenugreek, also known as helba or methi, is the seed of the fenugreek plant. It was first cultivated in the Near East and gradually began to be grown around the world and used in almost every cuisine.
In Turkish cuisine, where it is widely used, fenugreek flavors pastırma as well as traditional pies. It is also a key ingredient in many sauces and marinades.
Its flavor is relatively bitter, but the bitterness subsides when cooked.
Feel free to use it on grilled vegetables, homemade greens pies, marinades, homemade pastırma, and bean soup! Use it sparingly, though, as its aroma is strong.
