Turkey is well-known for its kebabs. But Turkish food is far more than just the famous grill food. Here are top4 of the best Turkish foods to try that aren't kebabs.
Turkey is well-known for its kebabs, but that is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Turkish cuisine. Traditional Turkish cuisine relies less on seasonings and more on delicious fresh ingredients that are rolled, kneaded, shaped, and cooked to perfection with care, dedication, and passion. In fact, the Turks are so fond of their food that they write songs about it: "Domates, biber, patlican" by Anatolian rock star Baris Manco translates to "Tomatoes, pepper, eggplant." Here are top4 of the best Turkish foods to try that aren't kebabs:
#1 Turkish Pizza: Lahmacun
Lahmacun is a flat and crispy bread with a topping of minced meat, salad, and lemon juice that can be wrapped, folded in half, or pulled apart to eat. The Turkish equivalent of pizza is bursting with flavor.
#2 Gozleme
Gozleme is flat savory pockets filled with salty white cheese, spinach, or minced beef. They are also known as sac boregi, pastry cooked on a sac, a hot convex metal plate. Although it is commonly regarded as village food, rolling out the paper-thin dough without tearing it requires expert handling. The name gozleme is thought to derive from the dark spots that form as the pastry cooks and absorbs the oil on the sac, forming "eyes."
#3 Baklava
Baklava is one of the most popular Turkish desserts, and it caters to anyone with a sweet tooth. It's made of filo pastries stuffed with nuts. You must bring a few boxes home to give your family and friends a taste of the finest Turkish foods.
#4 Su boregi
Borek, a savory pastry made from layering sheets of a fine filo-like dough called yufka, is a staple of central Anatolia's high plateaus. Nomadic herders brought it to Turkey hundreds of years ago, and different varieties can be found throughout the country as well as Central and Eastern Europe. Su boregi, which translates as "water borek," is the most widely available and is flavored with white cheese, butter, olive oil, and salt. Try all of those four at our on turkish restaurant,
