Time 12m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

3/4 cup cold water
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar (more or less depending on sweetness desired)
3 tablespoons freshly ground medium roast coffee

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in the cezve and mix with a spoon. Put the cezve over very low heat and do not stir. After about 3 minutes, a thick foam rises to the surface. Just as the coffee is about to bubble up and overflow, immediately remove the cezve from the heat. Gently divide the foam between 2 demitasse cups, then place the cezve back on the heat for a few seconds. Pour the coffee into the cups, carefully pouring it down the sides of the cups in order not to disturb the foam. The coffee grains will settle at the bottom of the cup.

Turkish Coffee-Rubbed Brisket image

Provided by Michael Solomonov

Categories     Coffee     Roast     Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur     Brisket     Cardamom

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 onions, peeled and quartered
2 large potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch-thick wedges
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 fennel bulb, cut into 1 1/2-inch-thick wedges
1 garlic head, unpeeled, sliced in half crosswise
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 tablespoon finely ground Turkish coffee or espresso
1 tablespoon smoked cinnamon (available from www.laboiteny.com) or regular cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
One 3 1/2- to 4-pound brisket, (first or second cut; Solomonov prefers well-marbled second cut)
Special equipment:
Heavy, large roasting pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Place onions, potatoes, carrot, fennel, and garlic in a heavy roasting pan. Toss with olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In a small bowl, combine coffee, cinnamon, cardamom, remaining 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Rub all over brisket and nestle brisket into vegetables to rest on bottom of pan. Roast until vegetables are lightly browned, 45 minutes.
  • Cover tightly with foil, lower oven to 300°F, and roast until fork-tender (you should be able to insert a roasting fork in the center and twist slightly with little resistance), 4 1/2 to 5 hours for first cut and 5 1/2 to 6 hours for second cut. As the brisket cooks, check on it every 45 minutes, adding 1/4 cup water to the pan if it starts to look dry. When the brisket is cooked, remove roasting pan from oven, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate with the vegetables until fat is solid, 8 to 24 hours. Transfer brisket to a cutting board and slice across the grain. Skim and discard fat in the roasting pan. Return brisket slices to the roasting pan with the vegetables and cooking juices.
  • To serve, preheat oven to 300°F. Transfer roasting pan to oven and heat brisket until liquid is melted and brisket and vegetables are just warmed through, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the brisket and vegetables to a serving dish, cover with foil, and reserve. Set the roasting pan over two burners on the stovetop and simmer the liquid over medium heat until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour the thickened pan juices over the brisket and serve.

TURKISH COFFEE - KAHVE



Turkish Coffee - Kahve image

Growing up with parents who were born in Cyprus (Turkish Speaking). I was basically taught how to make Turkish Coffee which is called Kahve at a young age (well old enough to safely be around flames from the stove). Kahve is traditionally prepared in a small long handled pot narrowing on at the top this is called cazve. Kahve is ideally made one cup at a time and served in a small espresso cup. Measurements for one cup is equal to one espresso size cup about 90 mls/3 oz. There are different varieties of Kahve with four listed below.

TURKISH COFFEE MOCHA



Turkish Coffee Mocha image

This is a super-special coffee that owes its lingering flavor to an unexpected source, says creator Fred Thompson. "Cardamom is a spice that creeps into taste memory without being immediately recognized," says Thompson, author of the cookbook, Hot Chocolate. I use almond milk for it's flavor and because I try not to use dairy.

TURKISH COFFEE BROWNIES



Turkish Coffee Brownies image

Turkish coffee is ubiquitous in Israel. This dessert has a caffeine kick that'll keep your party guests awake so they can enjoy every last bit of the delicious food you prepared.

Provided by Einat Admony

Categories     Coffee     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Cardamom     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes about 16 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus butter for the pan
2/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus flour for the pan
3 ounces 72% cacao chocolate
3 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons ground espresso beans, or instant espresso powder
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease the sides and bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan with butter and coat lightly with flour.
  • 2. Melt the chocolate and the 8 tablespoons butter in a small bowl over a pot of barely simmering water. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture is fluffy and pale yellow. Whisk in the espresso, cardamom, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
  • 3. Remove the melted chocolate and butter from the heat and stir with a rubber spatula. Then very slowly add the chocolate to the egg mixture and mix until thoroughly combined. Sift the 2/3 cup flour into the batter and mix well.
  • 4. Pour the brownie batter into the greased pan and use a rubber spatula to scrape out all that chocolate goodness. This is the part where I usually lick the spatula if no one is looking. Bake the brownies in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes. You can check for doneness by sticking a toothpick right in the middle. If it comes out clean, you're only seconds away from chocolate heaven. Cool the brownies before cutting.

Roscas (Turkish Coffee Cake Rings With Cloves) image

From Istanbul originally, this recipe appears in "A Blessing of Bread" by Maggie Glezer. Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea. The 4-hr time indicated is really from start to finish. There is probably about 30-45 minutes of active work during that time, depending on how quick you are.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 4h40m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon instant yeast
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 cup warm water
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg, for glazing
sesame seeds, for sprinkling on top

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the yeast, 3/4 cup of the flour and the cloves, then whisk in the water until smooth. Let stand uncovered for 10-20 minutes, until it begins to ferment. It may not puff up at all.
  • Whisk the salt, oil, and sugar into the yeast slurry until smooth and the salt and sugar have dissolved. Stir in the remaining flour all at once.
  • When the mix is a shaggy mess, turn it out onto a work surface and knead until fairly smooth, soft, and just a bit sticky.
  • Put it in a warm, clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until at least doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or oil it.
  • Divide dough in half. Roll one piece into a rectangle, then roll it up along the long side, evening it and lengthening it until it is about 24 inches long and 1 inch thick.
  • Bring the ends together to form a ring, and pinch them together. Transfer to prepared sheet.
  • Repeat with the other half of the dough.
  • Cover the rings with plastic wrap and leave to rise until tripled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
  • Put an oven rack in the upper third position, and preheat to 400°F.
  • Beat the egg with a pinch of salt, and glaze the rings. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
  • Slash the rings in a sunburst pattern, about 1/2 inch deep and about 2 inches apart to mark off serving sections.
  • Bake 25-35 minutes, or until very brown. Rotate the pan about 20 minutes into baking.
  • Cool rings on a rack.

TURKISH COFFEE



Turkish Coffee image

From some of you here I understand this is the only way to have coffee. I've never tried it but wish I could join you half way across the world to have a cup with you. NOTE: Please see LeggyPeggy's review. She explains the optionals in this recipe. Thanks for the info Peggy!

Provided by Julie Bs Hive

Categories     Southwest Asia (middle East)

Time 17m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 -3 tablespoons strong rich coffee (very finely ground)
4 teaspoons sugar (or to taste)
1 sprig fresh coriander (optional) or 2 teaspoons rose water (optional)

Steps:

  • (To make really authentic 'Turkish' coffee you need a narrow-topped pot that can be heated on a stove. Pots like this are used to make coffee in the most expensive restaurants and on desert camp-fires. You can use any heat-proof pot, but be careful.).
  • Fill the pot with about ½ litre of water and place it on the heat. As the water begins to heat up, add the sugar, stir, and then top up with the coffee. When the water boils, let it begin to foam, but quickly reduce the heat before the coffee boils over. Repeat this three times. Remove from the heat and add any optional flavouring. Allow the coffee to cool for a minute, then pour it into small cups.
  • Turkish coffee should be sipped slowly, and enjoyed with friends.

CHOCOLATE TURKISH COFFEE CAKE



CHOCOLATE TURKISH COFFEE CAKE image

Categories     Chocolate     Dessert

Yield 8-10 people

Number Of Ingredients 18

Cake
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
½ cup canola or grapeseed oil
¼ cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground espresso
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
½ teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons Dutch processed cocoa powder
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
6 large eggs
½ cup granulated sugar
Ganache
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
⅓ cup heavy cream, warmed
1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Lightly coat a 9-inch cake pan with nonstick pan spray; put parchment round on bottom after greasing both sides. Microwave chocolate until melted, stirring every 20 seconds, for 1 to 1½ minutes total (do not overheat the chocolate; will turn grainy). Whisk in the oil, dark brown sugar, espresso, pomegranate molasses and salt. 2. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, cardamom, baking powder and baking soda together through a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium bowl. 3. With stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs on medium speed until foamy, about 30 seconds. Slowly add the granulated sugar. Once it is added, increase the mixer speed to high and continue to whip until the mixture is very thick and creamy and drips from the whisk in thick ribbons, about 3 minutes. Add chocolate-espresso mixture and beat until well combined. Remove the mixer bowl from the stand and fold in the flour mixture. Pour cake batter into prepared cake pan. Bake until the cake springs back when pressed lightly, about 30 to 35 minutes. 4. While the cake bakes, make the ganache: To a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate and microwave until the chocolate is melted, stirring every 20 seconds, for about 1 to 1½ minutes total. To the melted chocolate, add the warm cream and the pomegranate molasses and gently stir until smooth. Set the ganache aside at room temperature to cool and thicken. 5. Remove the cake from the oven and cool for 15 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack and let it cool completely. Peel the parchment circle from the cake, then invert it onto a cake plate and spoon the ganache over the cake, using the back of a spoon to create soft peaks

Tips:

  • Use finely ground coffee. Turkish coffee is traditionally made with very finely ground coffee. This allows the coffee to dissolve more easily and create a thick, rich brew.
  • Use a cezve or ibrik. A cezve or ibrik is a small, long-handled pot that is traditionally used to make Turkish coffee. The shape of the pot helps to create a hot, even temperature, which is essential for making a good cup of Turkish coffee.
  • Bring the coffee to a boil three times. Turkish coffee is traditionally brought to a boil three times. This helps to extract the full flavor of the coffee and create a thick, creamy foam.
  • Don't stir the coffee. Stirring the coffee will break up the foam and make the coffee less flavorful. Instead, gently shake the pot back and forth to distribute the coffee grounds evenly.
  • Let the coffee settle for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the grounds to settle to the bottom of the cup and make the coffee easier to drink.

Conclusion:

Turkish coffee is a delicious and unique way to enjoy coffee. It is a strong, flavorful brew that is perfect for a special occasion or a relaxing afternoon break. With a few simple tips, you can make Turkish coffee at home that is just as good as what you would find in a traditional Turkish coffeehouse.
