Trahana (also known as “tarhana”) is a popular culinary ingredient in classic Mediterranean Southeastern European and Middle Eastern cuisine.

Sour Trahana is a fermented dough pasta made with Durum wheat semolina, yogurt, butter and salt. Trahana is typically cooked like pasta, boiled in water, veggie, chicken or beef stock. Sour Trahana is classically served as a porridge or thick winter soup known as “Trahanosoupa,” with butter, sautéed onions, fresh lemon juice and tangy Feta. Sour Trahana is also an ingredient in “Kokkinisto Kotopoulo,” a classic pan seared and baked chicken dish made olive oil, onion and garlic, wine (optional), tomatoes and bay leaves. Vlaha Sour Trahana is a wonderful ingredient for “Kreatopsoupa me Trahana,” meat soup and in homemade chicken soup. This special pasta can also be used in traditional Greek stuffed peppers filled with sautéed onion, garlic, grated zucchini and eggplant, tomatoes, fresh basil and topped with Feta or as a binder for meatballs bathed in tomato sauce.
