turkish cuisine

Kaytaz böreği is one of the distinguished dishes of Antakya cuisine, which unfortunately does not have enough reputation despite all its flavor. Antakya (Hatay) is a city placed in the south part of Turkey and it is one of the gastronomy centers of Turkey. Antakya has really delicious dishes, but some of them are not known widely, such as kaytaz böreği. Outside the region, it is known just by a certain group that has an interest in gastronomy or, by chance, has visited an Antakya restaurant. Since my childhood, I have been one of the best followers of food and travel shows on tv. As a child, I used to watch cartoons and food and travel shows without blinking on TV. So I have a huge knowledge of traditional and local foods. When I see people asking "How do you know that?" for things that seem normal to me I began to realize that not everyone was watching those shows. In short I learned most of the things I know about local recipes from the cooking and travel shows. Nowadays, it is possible to obtain enough information to about the food culture of each region thanks to the internet. Just want and just take your time. Do wonder about Antakya cuisine? Just write Antakya / Hatay cuisine to Google. The food lists published by the Governorship, the recipes shared by Antakians, the food and travel shows taken in the region, the lists of what to eat in Hatay... You can even do this in any language using Google Translate. There is nothing you cannot find nowadays. What is surprising in these circumstances where access to information is so easy is not "knowing" but "not knowing". Pay attention to these while making Kaytaz Böreği !!! With this motto, it is a great pleasure for me to introduce kaytaz böreği to those who have not yet met with it. Because it is a taste that everyone should enjoy once in their lifetime. Although it is called börek and it starts like making a börek, at the end, you enjoy a food that looks like lahmacun. But its consistency and taste is very different from lahmacun. It is crispy because it is made with a thinly rolled dough. Because of this consistency, Kaytaz böreği is like a snack, but at the same time it is very filling. Here I have to give an extra information I guess. What is börek? Börek is a Turkish dish prepared with yufka, dough leaves. Yufka is like phyllo dough but the taste and consistency are very different. Actually phyllo dough is a kind of yufka which is used to make baklava and it is called baklava yufka in Turkey. If you just say yufka, you mean the one that is used to make börek. Let's turn back to kaytaz böreği recipe. It may seem a little bit hard ro prepare but it's not. The dough is rolled very easily. I would like to underline again that you only need to pay attention to the amount of flour while preparing the dough. The amount of flour you should use in pastries will always vary, so always add the flour little by little, controlling the consistency of the dough, until it reaches the desired consistency in the recipe. You don't need to roll such a large dough, you don't need a rolling pin, you just press and extend it by hand. The filling is not cooked beforehand, only the ingredients are mixed. Regarding the ingredients, I recommend that you do not try to substitute pomegranate syrup and pepper paste. These are the two ingredients that distinguish Kaytaz böreği filling from an ordinary ground meat filling. In particular, choosing a real pomegranate syrup, not a sauce made with pomegranate syrup and glucose syrup, will give a better result. Enjoy ... Ingredients: For the dough; 2.5 cups flour, 1 glass of lukewarm water, 1 teaspoon instant yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon salt. For the topping; 250 g ground beef, 1 large onion, 1 tablespoon of pepper paste, 1 tablespoon of pomegranate syrup, 1 handful of chopped parsley, Salt, Black pepper. To lubricate; 1 tablespoon of butter, 3-4 tablespoons of oil. Preparation: For the dough, mix water, sugar and yeast in a deep bowl, Add the flour little by little and start mixing, Add salt together with the flour and mix, Add the remaining flour gradually, controlling its consistency, and knead it until you have a soft dough that does not stick to the hand, Roll up the dough, cover and set aside 30-45 mins., Prepare the filling when the dough is almost ready, For this, chop the onion finely, Mix the minced meat, onion, parsley, pepper paste, pomegranate syrup, salt and pepper in a deep bowl, In a saucepan, melt the butter, add the vegetable oil and mix, Knead the dough again and divide it into 12 pieces, Cover the pieces and set aside for 10 minutes., Take one of the pieces on the counter and grease the top with the oil+butter mixture and extend it pressing with your hands in the width of a serving plate to get a dough leaf, Gather the leaf from the two opposite edges n the middle and make a thick strip, Roll it around itself (without tightening) into a circle in the size of a tea plate and place it on a baking tray covered with wax paper, Prepare other pieces in the same way and place them into the tray, Press the middle of the pieces to make place for the filling, Divide the filling into 12 equal parts, place each part on the dough and flatten a little, Bake them in a 180 C degrees pre heated oven until the edges are browned. Bon Appetit...

Kayseri yağlaması is one of the traditional recipes of Kayseri, the beautiful city located in the middle of Turkey. It is famous mainly for its mantı and pastırma (Turkish beef bacon), but yağlama also has the same importance with mantı for Kayseri. Kayseri is 1 hour drive to Cappadocia, the gorgeous touristic destination famous for its mind blowing geographical formations and baloons. If you ever visit Cappadoccia you should also stop by Kayseri to taste mantı, yağlama and pastırma. Yağlama is prepared with a special tortilla like bread, lavas. In some cases an easy yağlama can be made with store bought tortillas but according to me it's not the same thing. So it's better to spare some time and prepare this unbelievably delicious meal.

It's actually a sweet crying cake that doesn't need to be talked about too much. I think there are very few people who haven't tasted it before. Those who haven't heard of it or haven't eaten it will definitely try this recipe anyway. How to Decorate a Turkish Crying Cake? You can use ground dried nuts such as pistachios, hazelnuts and almonds that you think will go well with the crying slices of cake after pouring the sauce. You can also decorate it using coconut, coarsely chopped hazelnuts or walnuts. What Can I Use Instead Of Whipped Cream In A Crying Cake? There is a ready-made food in the recipe that I don't use very often. Whipped cream. Actually, I wouldn't use it in this recipe, but I didn't want to spoil the originality of the recipe. If you do not like to use whipped cream, you can make homemade whipped cream by whisking a pack of cream and 1 cup of powdered sugar until it thickens. Enjoy ... Ingredients: 4 eggs, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 100 g of butter, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, 1,5 cup of whole milk, 2,5 cups of flour, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 25 g of baking powder, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 1 cup of milk to moisten the cake. Frosting; 2 cups of heavy cream 4 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Chocolate Sauce; 1 cup of milk, 80 g of chocolate, 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. Preparation: Melt the butter, Cream together the eggs and sugar, Add the melted butter, vegetable oil, vanilla extract and milk into the egg mixture, In a separate bowl stir together flour, cocoa and baking powder, Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture slowly while whisking, Pour into a greased large rectangular baking dish, Bake at 190 degrees Celsius (preheated) for 30-35 mins, For the frosting, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar using an electric mixer until you get stiff peaks, Refrigerate until you need it, For the chocolate sauce, add chocolate, butter and milk into a saucepan and cook on low until chocolate fully melts, Add the sugar and cocoa powder, Whisk for 1 more min and remove from heat, Remove the cake from oven, let it sit for 10 mins, then pour 1 cup of milk evenly over it to moisten, Once the cake cools down completely, spread the whipped cream frosting as an even layer, Pour the cooled chocolate sauce over the frosting.

This is also known as kibbeh in some countries but we call them as "içli köfte" in Turkish which literally translates to "stuffed meatball". This is the kibbeh recipe that comes to mind when we think of kibbeh we see and eat in kebab restaurants. As you can imagine, I adjusted the recipe again according to my own taste. Although it was my first attempt, I got a great result, especially in terms of taste. Maybe I couldn't make it as thin as the professionals, but I think the içli köfte is the içli köfte you make yourself :) With the following ingredients, you end up with a lot of kibbehs. I split them into small portions and and put some in the freezer. Right now I have ready to make kibbeh in my fridge. I'll take it out of the freezer and put it on the bottom of the fridge, the next evening they will ready to be fried. Ingredients: For the outer crust; 2 cups wheat bulgur, 250 g ground beef / lamb, 2 tablespoons semolina, 1 tablespoon flour, 2,5 cups water, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, 1 tablespoon pepper paste, 1 egg, Salt. For the filling; 500 g ground beef / lamb, 2 onions, 2/3 cup olive oil, 1 cup ground walnuts, Salt, Black pepper. Preparation: Finely mince the onion, Heat the olive oil in a pan, Sauté the onion until soft, Add the ground meat and cook until it turns brown, Add the ground walnuts, salt and black pepper, stir and remove from heat, In a separate pan, add the bulgur, semolina and water, Cook on low heat until all the water is absorbed, On a large tray, mix the bulgur mixture with all the other outer crust ingredients and knead well for a few minutes with your hands or until everything is well combined, Grease your hands with oil and pull clementine size pieces from the mixture, then form them into smooth balls, Form an indent in the centre of each ball ensuring that the crust is as thin as possible, Fill the indent with the meat mixture and mold the crust around the filling, In adeep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil, Drop the koftes in and deep-fry until golden brown on all sides. Bon appétit... &nbsp;
