CIGAR BOREK MADDY BARNES
Welcome! My name is Maddy and I’m happy to share two of my favourite dishes. I picked these two recipes because they are both simple and delicious. Growing up, I mostly spent time with my maternal side of the family, who immigrated to Canada from Turkey in the mid 60’s. Both of these dishes are quite popular throughout Turkey; however, the lentil soup is a spin-off version, compared to what you would find there. Both of these recipes remind me of my childhood. I still remember the days when I would sneak into the kitchen while my grandmother was frying up the Cigar Boreks, just to get a taste. The Lentil soup will always be one of my favourite comfort foods, especially when I’m feeling under the weather. This hearty soup is filled with protein, vitamins and all that good stuff!
