Day 1 Iftar Menu
We're here with the first of our 30-day iftar menu options to answer the question of "what should I cook for iftar!" Here is a delicious iftar menu for the first iftar of Ramadan...
Day 1 Iftar Menu
We're kicking off the first iftar with a hearty bulgur (cracked wheat) and lentil soup that we make quite frequently at our table. For those looking for satisfying Ramadan dinner recipes on the first day's iftar menu, there's dalyan köfte (Turkish stuffed log meatballs) along with a delicious buttery pilaf on the side. Ottoman Güllaç — the indispensable dessert of the iftar table — is the sweetest recipe of the first day... May your table be filled with abundance and bon appétit!
THE FIRST IFTAR SOUP
The soup for the first iftar table is, of course, the most beloved lentil soup. But for a more filling iftar-special version, try making the lentil soup with bulgur (cracked wheat). It will be a much more nutritious and satisfying soup!
