Sour Soup
Döğme (coarsely ground wheat) is soaked overnight, then boiled and cooked with lentils and chickpeas. Vegetables (purslane, aubergines, or beets) are added to the mixture, along with a meat broth or cooked, shredded meat. Finely chopped onion is sauteed with tomato paste, peppermint and chili pepper and added to the soup, along with sumac and salt to taste. The soup is served with sauce.
