Tirit

Tirit
Day-old bread, cut in chunks
Feta cheese, crumbled
Green onion, chopped
Parsley, chopped
Beef broth or stock, hot

Place the bread slices in a bowl. Sprinkle the green onion, parsley and feta cheese on top. Pour some hot beef broth and wait until the bread soaks it in, then pour the rest. The bread shouldn't be dry or juicy. If needed, add some salt and pepper.

Tirit is a Turkish dish made from old bread so it doesn't have to be thrown away. Other options you have for old bread is using it for Turkish Hamburger or making croutons for soup and salads.

To make croutons, cut the bread in cubes. Place on an oven tray and add some olive oil, salt and pepper on top, then tosss. Preheat your oven to 175 C (350 F) and bake for about 10-15 minutes.
