    fenugreek can be bought from mideaster groceries and it is called "Hoolba" seed. It is bitter so don't use too much. Also don't make the Cemen until 2 weekd just before you need to cover the meat. I wonder if this can be done in my food dehydrator. This can be used on any type of meat just like jerkey but much softer.

    Honey, if it looks like the picture, I'll figure out how to make it. Your English is far better than my Turkish. Thanks so much for sharing in a foreign language.

    Best,

    For anyone viewing Kuta's recipes, there are some of us here to help her with translations for some of the more complicated recipes, but please, please be patient with her and remember the language barrier. :) She has a lot of great things to share, so I'm sure they'll be worth the time to ask questions if you have trouble understanding. Thank you!! (yes, I'm going to try and put this on all her submissions, as I see them, to try and thwart any unkindness or cruelty that could be shown for any difficulties she has with English...she sure is trying! :)
