 +====== Sohag Cuisine ======
  
 +Eish Shamsi (عيش شمسي)
 +“Sun bread,” a fermented wheat loaf left to rise under direct sunlight before baking in clay ovens. Its cracked, golden crust is a signature of Upper Egyptian villages. [([[https://www.facebook.com/groups/119457584880015/posts/1550799718412454/|Facebook]])]
 +
 +==== Feteer Sohagi (فطير سوهاجي) ====
 +Thicker and drier than Delta feteer, this layered pastry is baked until firm and stored for days, reflecting the need for bread that withstands heat and travel. [([[https://chefindisguise.com/2015/02/03/feteer-meshaltet-egyptian-layered-pastry/|Chef in Disguise]])]
 +
 +==== Aseeda bil ‘Asal Aswad (عصيدة بالعسل الأسود) ====
 +A dense porridge of wheat flour stirred into boiling water, served with blackstrap molasses. A traditional winter breakfast for field workers. [([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vft7TGRqCY4|YouTube]])]
 +
 +==== Shorbat Qamh (شوربة قمح) ====
 +Whole wheat grains simmered into a thick soup, sometimes enriched with milk. This dish dates back to ancient grain-eating traditions of Upper Egypt. [([[https://fromykitchen.com/wheat-laham-shorba/|From My Kitchen]])]
 +
 +==== Molokhia Nasha (ملوخية ناشا) ====
 +Molokhia cooked without meat or broth, thickened only with garlic and coriander. Its simplicity reflects periods when meat was scarce. [([[https://amiraspantry.com/mulukhia-aka-jews-mallow/|Amira's Pantry]])]
 +
 +==== Taameya bil Korrat (طعمية بالكُرّات) ====
 +Falafel made with leeks (korrat) mixed into the fava bean paste, giving a sweeter, greener flavor than Cairo-style taameya. [([[https://silkroadrecipes.com/egyptian-falafel-taameya/|Silk Road Recipes]])]
 +
 +==== Besara Sohagi (بصارة سوهاجي) ====
 +A purée of split fava beans, herbs, and spices, often topped with fried onions. In Sohag it is thicker and eaten as a main meal with bread. [([[https://amiraspantry.com/egyptian-besara-busara/|Amira's Pantry]])]
 +
 +==== Mahshi Shamar (محشي شمر) ====

 +
 +==== Dry Okra Stew (ويكة ناشفة) ====
 +Sun-dried okra cooked with tomatoes and sometimes small bits of meat. Drying vegetables for later use is a long-standing Upper Egyptian habit. [([[https://www.africanbites.com/okra-stew/|African Bites]])]
 +
 +==== Ruz bil Laban Furn (رز بلبن فرن) ====

 +
 +==== Shakshouka Sohagi (شكشوكة سوهاجي) ====
 +Eggs scrambled with tomatoes, onions, and green peppers, heavily spiced and eaten for lunch rather than breakfast. [([[https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/213717/chakchouka-shakshouka/|Allrecipes]])]
