Dried apricots are softened in water, stuffed with a walnut filling, and gently cooked in olive oil. This traditional winter appetizer brings sweet and tangy flavors together and is served cold, making an elegant addition to a gathering.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Soften the apricots

20 min

Soak the dried apricots in warm water for about 20 minutes, until softened. Drain them.

2

Make the filling

8 min

Mix the cooked rice, coarsely chopped walnuts, currants, sugar, and salt in a bowl.

3

Stuff the apricots

10 min

Gently open each softened apricot at one side and carefully fill it with the mixture.

4

Cook with olive oil

12 min

Place the stuffed apricots in a wide pot with olive oil and a little water. Cook gently over low heat.

5

Cool and serve

5 min

After cooling, refrigerate for a few hours and serve cold.

Reminder

Soften the dried apricots in warm water before stuffing them; this soaking time is not included in the cooking time. Contains tree nuts (walnuts). Anyone with a walnut or hazelnut allergy should take care.

Un yerine yulaf ezmesi kattım, kıvamı bozmadı. Kabuğunu soymadan denedim, dokusu daha iyiydi bence.

Bekletme süresini atladım, tadı biraz eksik kaldı. Hamur bir türlü toparlanmadı, un eklemek zorunda kaldım. Buzdolabında beklerken kabuğu sertleşti, önerdiğiniz gibi örtmemişim.

Malzemeleri sırayla eklemeyi unuttum, kıvamı biraz farklı oldu.

Bu sorunu genelde erken açmak çözüyor, üzerini geç açmayı deneyin.
