Leblebi

Leblebi is a specialty from the province of Çorum (Turkey), is widely used in all over Turkey, and is highly valued as snacks.

Leblebi is a snack of Turkish cuisine, which consists of hot air roasted chickpeas. In addition to the normal Leblebi without seasoning, there are also Leblebi with salt, hot spices or cloves and sugar. In children, the Leblebi with icing are very popular.

The peas are roasted slowly on a specially made for sheet metal plate on the gas flame with a flat trowel. They are constantly being moved circularly in order to ensure an even toasting, and the typical taste. After roasting, the peas get a yellow color with black Röstpunkten. Only through the roasting they are crisp.

The milled powder ( leblebi tozu ) is next to the pure consumption ( mixed with powdered sugar ) and otherwise its use in Turkish cuisine (eg in desserts and cakes or for thickening ).
