Homemade Sour Bulgur Trahana From Ikaria
- 3 cups / 18 ounces coarse bulgur
- 1 cup plain Greek whole-milk yogurt
- 1 cup whole cows milk
- 1 cup whole goats milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Place all of the ingredients in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring to prevent bulgur from sticking to the bottom of pan.
- Simmer, stirring, until mixture is a dense, just-about-solid mass and very hard to stir, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment.
- Spread bulgur mixture on parchment in an even layer.
- It should fill the baking sheet and should be about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place in oven and bake until completely dry and brittle, 3 to 4 hours.
- It should only color slightly.
- If trahana on the edges of pan begins to brown, remove that portion and return pan to the oven until all of the trahana is completely dry.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool, then break up into chunks or granules (in my experience the trahana falls apart into granules rather than chunks).
- Store in jars in a cool, dry place.
