Boiled cracked wheat dough with tomato paste is made by cooking a dough prepared from coarsely cracked wheat, seasoned with tomato paste. The wheat gives it a substantial, slightly chewy texture, while the paste brings a savoury tomato flavour. It is a simple home-style preparation associated with Turkish cooking.
Serve it warm as a filling dish or alongside other food. In Turkey, a spoonful of yoghurt or a fresh salad can make a cooling contrast; herbs also pair well with the tomato flavour. It is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with some fibre from the wheat. For a lighter plate, keep added oil modest and serve it with plenty of vegetables.
