Information about Kunefe
Kunefe is a dessert from the Eastern Mediterranean region, made of kadayif and cheese and served hot. Künefe, whose homeland is Hatay , is made in different ways in Mersin, Adana, Gaziantep, Kilis, Şanlıurfa, Diyarbakır and Mardin.
Although there are more than one type of Knafeh (kunefe), the general method of preparation is the same. A type of unsalted cheese is placed between two layers of kadayif and cooked lightly, and sugar syrup that is not very thick is added to it.
The changes in its preparation are mainly due to the type of kadayıf and cheese. Direct wire kadayif can be used, as well as kadayif toughened with semolina. Fresh cheeses that are closer to raw milk such as Hatay cheese, Lor cheese, Antep cheese, and Urfa cheese are used as cheese. Since this type of cheese can be difficult both to obtain and to wash and keep fresh, string cheese is also found in simplified home recipes.
Unlike Mersin künefe, Hatay künefe is cooked by turning over low fire in special trays of various sizes according to the desired number of portions. Then it is skillfully turned over and the other side is cooked in the same way. After it is removed from the fire, syrup and peanuts are added on it and served hot.
