Turkish Cuisine
The Turkish kitchen is one of the richest kitchens in the world, at par with kitchens like the French and the Chinese. There are more than 2 500 different Turkish meals!
Meat dishes such as kebabs, köftes, yahnis, pirzola and külbastı are just the tip of the iceberg. How about some seafood? If you like fish then there are several local varieties to try: kalkan, hamsi, çipura, lüfer, levrek, barbunya, palamut, kırlangıç, kılıç, tekir, dil, mercan and istavrit.
Other seafood dishes consist of stuffed mussels, pan-fried mussels, shrimp on skewers, earthenware-cooked shrimp, shrimp salad, crab, lobsters, and stews, salads and salted preserves of these and other crustaceans.And we mustn't forget the Turkish pilafs! They generally accompany kebabs and grills; and there are many varieties of pilafs. Pilafs in Turkey are made not only of rice, but also of bulgur and kuskus.
Dolmas and sarmas are important, too. There is a great variety of dolmas made with ground beef and eaten warm. The blanket in which the ingredients are stuffed is sometimes a vine leaf, sometimes a pazı leaf, and sometimes an aubergine, a green pepper, or a tomato. Dolma and sarma are exclusively Turkish dishes.
