Bemused, just read it as it is spelled. Bazergan is a sweet and sour cracked wheat salad. Sephardim serve this salad as part of “Maza” which is a course constisting of various appetizers and salads. In the Maza course you can have Tehina, Hummus, Syrian potato salad, Tabouli, Babaghonoush, Pickles, olives and finger foods like Lechmeagin, Kibbe, Meat Phyllo fingers, meat sambusaks, & meat borekas. As we have become more americanized in our cooking, I’ll make franks in blankets, mini potato knishes, and chicken nuggets. Don’t think I make all these foods everytime, though there are some families that do. In our area, many of these foods can be purchased ready made. I usually have Maza on Shabbat Lunch and after, will serve the Hamin.
