Kıymalı Pide

Kıymalı Pide

, , , , 0

Pide is a classic Turkish dish. A flatbread or Turkish pizza, usually filled with a savory filling, which can be basically anything that comes to mind at the time. Years ago, when I visited Istanbul, I noticed simple pide on the streets and in restaurants, filled with minced meat and paprika. Often sprinkled with herbs and Turkish soft, white cheese.
So, to commemorate those meals, I made Turkish pide, which reminded me of the consistency and filling of the ones I had tried in Istanbul.

Preparation time: Totally 1.5 hours
Level: Medium
Serves: four

Ingredients:
Dough:
300 g flour
250 g water
40 g olive oil
0.5 tsp sea salt
1 tsp sugar
Filling:
500 g minced meat (lamb, beef or pork-beef mixture)
2 medium onions, finely chopped
4 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped
A handful of chopped parsley
3 tbsp cooking oil for frying
4 tbsp tomato paste
0.5 tsp dried oregano for seasoning
Sea salt and black pepper for seasoning
A handful of dry goat cheese for sprinkling on the pitas. Turkish white salad cheese is also often used
Chopped green onion for sprinkling on top
1 egg for brushing the edges of the pitas

Preparation:

  1. Prepare the dough. Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water, then pour the flour into a mixing bowl and add salt, sugar, olive oil, and the dissolved yeast.
  2. Mix until soft. The softer the dough, the fluffier the handle will be. Knead the dough for a few minutes.
  3. Cover the dough bowl with a towel and let the dough rise at +40 degrees for at least 1 hour. The dough can also be risen at room temperature, but it takes longer. When the dough has doubled in size, it is ready to make the handles.
  4. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Finely chop the onions and garlic, and chop the bell pepper.
  5. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat, and add the minced meat, onion, and garlic. Fry until the minced meat is lightly browned.
  6. Add the bell pepper, chopped parsley, tomato paste, oregano, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix and let simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
  7. When the dough is ready, lightly knead the air out of the dough, and halve the dough ball. On a lightly floured work surface, shape the dough into an elongated oval. Place it on a baking sheet covered with baking paper and shape it until it is completely flat. The dough layer should be 0.5 cm thick and about 25 cm wide in the middle. The dough oval should be slightly thinner at the ends.
  8. Place half of the filling in the middle of the dough oval, roll the edges of the dough together in a few circles to form an edge about 2 cm high. Lightly twist the ends of the dough oval into a “knot” to form a boat shape. Spread the filling evenly so that it fills the dough boat.
  9. Prepare the second handle in exactly the same way. Place them side by side on the baking sheet. Brush the edges well with beaten egg.
  10. Let the handles stand for 15 minutes at room temperature, and then the dough wrapper will rise more fluffy. At the same time, set the oven temperature to maximum. In my oven, it is +300 degrees C. Depending on the temperature of your oven, bake the pides until they are golden brown.
  11. After removing from the oven, let the pides cool slightly, crumble the goat cheese or feta cheese, and sprinkle it over the pides. Sprinkle with chopped green onions. Cut the pides crosswise with a sharp knife into pieces about 5-7 cm wide and serve.

Biber dolmasi – Turkish stuffed peppers

Biber dolmasi – Turkish stuffed peppers

, , , 0

Dolma refers to stuffed dishes, typically filled with vegetables or various other ingredients. The filling can be essentially any food, such as seeds, fish, meat, or cereals. Stuffed dishes are very common in the areas of the former Ottoman Empire, and these dishes have a very long historical background.
Here I will introduce one possible variant of stuffed peppers, where I did not use meat in the preparation of the dish, but mostly rice, which was mixed with tomatoes, herbs, onions, and garlic.
It is important that the dish can be stewed long enough so that the peppers and the filling are soft and the flavors are properly balanced.

Preparation time: 2 hours
Level: Rather easy
Quantity: Six stuffed peppers

Ingredients:
Six large green peppers, tops and seeds removed
2 tbsp basmati rice per pepper, 12 tbsp rice in total
A large handful of fresh parsley, chopped
A handful of fresh mint, chopped
2 medium onions, finely chopped
4-5 medium cloves of garlic, finely chopped
50 g pine nuts
3 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
1 tsp paprika powder
2-3 tbsp tomato paste
Sea salt and black pepper
Cherry tomatoes or small tomatoes to coat the stuffed peppers during baking
About 50 ml of olive oil

Sauce:
One 400 ml can of crushed tomatoes
3 medium cloves of garlic, crushed
Sea salt and black pepper to season
20 ml olive oil

Preparation:

  1. Cut off the tops of the peppers, and remove the seeds.
  2. Chop the parsley, mint, onions, tomatoes, and garlic.
  3. Add the spices, pine nuts, tomato paste, and rice, and mix until smooth.
  4. Mix the prepared sauce. To do this, chop the garlic cloves, mix with oil and canned crushed tomatoes, and season with sea salt and pepper. Pour the sauce in an even layer on the bottom of a heatproof casserole. Add about 100 ml of water.
  5. Place the peppers upright on the sauce and pour the filling into the peppers so that about 1/5 of the pepper is empty for the rice to expand.
  6. Drizzle with olive oil, cut the cherry tomatoes or regular small tomatoes in half, and place the cut side down on top of the filling.
  7. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper, cover the pot with a lid, and place in the oven at 200 degrees C for about 1.5 hours.
  8. After about 1 hour, check the food and make sure that the food does not burn. Add a little water if necessary to ensure that the bottom of the food has a uniform, thick sauce.
  9. When the food is ready, turn off the oven. It is best to leave the food to stand under the lid on an even, cooling heat and finish cooking.
  10. Serve the food with meat or eat it as is. Greek yogurt is a good accompaniment, and freshly fried eggs and toasted bread suit also well.

Ayran is a cold, slightly savory, refreshing yogurt drink from Central Asia, Turkey, the Balkans, or Iran. The first sources of this drink date back about 1000 years ago, and it was prepared by tribes living in the lands of Turkey at that time. Making this drink is incredibly easy. Turkish or Greek yogurt is mixed with water, often carbonated mineral water, and sea salt is added to the mixture to make the drink slightly salty, along with finely chopped mint. The drink is cooling and slightly salty, making it ideal for drinking on a hot summer day. The yogurt and water used to make the drink must be as cold as possible.

Preparation time: 5 minutes
Level: easy
Quantity: Half a liter of ayran

Ingredients:
200 g of Turkish or Greek yogurt, cooled to refrigerator temperature
300 ml of ice-cold water, I used neutral-flavored carbonated water
A pinch of sea salt, you can always add more
About 10 finely chopped mint leaves

A few small mint sprigs for garnish

Preparation:

  1. Cool the yogurt and water to +4 degrees in the refrigerator.
  2. Finely chop the mint, mix the yogurt with a spoon until smooth. Add a little water and mix so that the yogurt does not remain in lumps.
  3. Finely chop the mint and add to the yogurt mixture.
  4. Add the remaining water and mix until smooth. Add a pinch of sea salt to the mixture. You can always increase the saltiness, but it is better not to oversalt the drink.
