| Papara (Popara) |
While obesity and cholesterol is an important problem in some of the Earth, hunger is an important problem in the other part. The loss of natural water resources and the inefficiency of the soils are other problems that should not be forgotten. When this is the case, it is disturbing to throw the stale breads in the trash...
There are many solutions for stale breads in world kitchens. Papara (Popara) is a preferred solution in Türkiye, Greece, Bulgaria and many other Balkan countries. I have to mention that Papara is a meal made differently even in Türkiye. Therefore, I have to say that it can be done differently in another Balkan country. Papara is a meal identified with stale bread. I recommend you to evaluate it with this method with the stale breads in your house... (We even keep breads to make Papara, so delicious...)
Note 1: You can make this delicious meal with all kinds of bread. Don't take into account the type of bread and chop the breads according to your preference...
Note 2: You can see the element of cheese and yogurt in the Papara recipe. This recipe is a bit more specific to Anatolia and there is no cheese or yogurt. I haven't tried them, but it may be nice if you want to try them.
