Spicy Grilled Beef Kabobs

Tue, 21 Jun 2005 16:58:47 -0400

An Alton Brown "Good Eats" recipe that he attributes back to the old Ottoman Empire and which sounds pretty authentically Turkish to me! (To my good friends I'm known as "The Evil Turk" :) Alton originally called for "smoked paprika" but I couldn't find this so I used the Hungarian paprika instead. (Traditionally according to AB this is supposed to be originated with Turkish mercenaries grilling chunks of meat on their swords in the field, I'd like to know how those old Ottomans would have time to smoke that paprika anyways :) -- posted by Semra22

Pasta With Ground Beef and Yoghurt

Mon, 01 Aug 2005 16:26:15 -0400

Quick, easy and tasty. Yoghurt and beef can be prepared ahead so dinner is ready in the time you'll need to cook the pasta. Use roasted garlic for the cooked garlic in the recipe if you have on hand. - This is my variation from a turkish recipe. The yoghurt should be very mild and creamy rich, like Greek yoghurt, not tart or runny, or the dish will be too tart. -- posted by Inge 1505

Börek Turkish Pasties

Tue, 02 May 2006 11:21:30 -0400

Delicious savoury pasties with a Turkish twist! Great as a snack, a side for soups or salads or as a small meal on their own! There are two filling options, each makes enough for 8 pasties. The dough recipe is for 16 pasties, so if you want to make just e.g. 8 feta pasties, cut the dough recipe in half. Use the amount of flour listed only as a guideline as the amount of gluten will vary. You can use dried yeast instead of fresh if you prefer, just adjust the temperature of the dough accordingly and add the yeast with the flour. Recipe adapted from Maku magazine. -- posted by stormylee

Spicy Beef Wedding Soup (Dugun Corbasi)

Tue, 20 Jun 2006 10:28:24 -0400

In the old days, wedding celebrations in Turkey lasted forty days and forty nights. Today, they have been compressed to three at the most, with lots of gift giving and henna painting, but many are just overnight celebrations at a local hotel. This hearty soup is traditionally served after the ceremony, beginning the banquet. From An Exaltation Of Soups Cookbook -- posted by Charlotte J

Greek Stuffed Zucchini (Halal)(Kolokithakia Yemista)(Gluten Free

Mon, 04 May 2009 19:47:04 -0400

A good five stars with lemon sauce. This is DH's favorite meal and mine too right now. Modified from The Complete Middle East Cookbook by Tess Mallos (She is Greek). This is well worth the effort. Serve this dish with mashed potatoes or it tastes excellent served with Recipe #322603 used as a bed of rice for laying the zucchini on. Along with a fresh salad this will be a wonderful meal. -- posted by UmmBinat

Uyghur Polo (Pilaf)

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:53:02 -0500

Polo (a Central Asian variant on the word pilaf) is a food staple found across Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and parts of northwestern China. The different peoples of each region have their own takes, and their own flavors, for the recipe. This recipe is for Uyghur polo, the variant of the dish found in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Uyghur food is on the whole closer in taste to Indian, Persian, or Mediterranean food than it is to conventional Chinese food. I credit this recipe to my Uyghur language instructor. The recipe can be a challenge to cook correctly at first, but the challenge will prove well worth the effort because it is absolutely delicious. -- posted by mpevans
