Not what is in the cupboard. What you feel like.
Pick more than one if you like. Every result says what it was matched on: the taste model is an estimate, the time is the number the recipe itself states, and the weight is energy computed from the ingredient list.
Crushed potatoes with yoghurt
Boil, crush, roast. A rough surface means more crust.
Menemen
Pepper, tomato and egg. Know the order and the heat and it takes fifteen minutes; miss them and you get a watery omelette.
Ali Nazik
The Gaziantep classic: charred aubergine crushed with garlicky yoghurt under sautéed lamb. Everything rests on properly charring the aubergine — made
Green beans in olive oil
A classic that cooks in the vegetable’s own water, with none added. The secret is patience and a low flame: the beans sweat, they never boil.
Red lentil soup
Turkey’s default soup. Four ingredients, thirty-five minutes and one rule: the lemon is squeezed at the table.
Chickpea stew
Dried chickpeas, tomato paste and olive oil — and a pinch of bicarbonate that halves the cooking time.
Buttered pilaf
Separate grains are not a recipe but two steps: rinse it, and leave the lid alone.
Fried eggs in butter
Eight minutes and one number: the butter must not pass 150 °C.
Strained yoghurt
Yoghurt drained in a cloth bag to remove the whey. The base for mezes, and the terbiye of toyga and düğün çorbası.
