Cracked Wheat in Tomato Sauce (Trahana) - Greek Recipes

	Cracked Wheat in Tomato Sauce (Trahana) Trahana is cracked wheat which has been soaked in milk and then dried in the sun on your rooftop. There are two types of trahana: sweet, and sour. Sour milk is used for the sour trahana. As Mamá is from an island where sweet trahana is made, I use sweet trahana in this recipe. Put in a pot: 1/2 cup olive oil 1 onion, grated 4 tomatoes, grated (1 - 1.5 lb tomatoes, about 2 cups of puree) Sauté for 5-10 minutes Add 4 cups water Bring to boil and add 1 cup trahana Add salt and pepper to taste. Boil for 40 minutes. (If you make this with regular cracked wheat, it will of course be entirely vegan. I haven’t tried that, so I don’t know how it would be.) 2 Comments » Comment by Vasiliki Marlowe I would like to make the trahana noodle. Does anyone have a recipe. Sweet and sour. Comment by Lulu Hi Vasiliki! Are you saying that you’d like to make the trahana itself? You would like to start with the cracked wheat, soak it in milk, and then dry it? If so, join the club!
