How to Make Grated Noodles (Tarhonya )

INTRODUCTION

My Ukrainian Grandmother used to make a dried pasta called tarhonya. This article provides an age old recipe for tarhonya also known as grated noodles.

Definition of Tarhonya from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Hungarian egg barley, called tarhonya in Hungarian, is an egg-based pasta grain in Hungary and Eastern Europe, originating probably from the influence of the Ottoman empire and the Turkish cuisine from tarhana or of Persian origin, similar to the Persian 'tarkhane.'"

We hope to publish more recipes, most of which are older, almost forgotten recipes from the index cards and cook books left to me by my late Grandmother. These are mainly ethnic recipes, for example, hungarian, polish, ukrainian, and many more.
