I’m intrigued by this recipe Leslie. I’m going to try it in cooked in the oven. Now to how you served your meal, I was very pleased to see the sweet potato and broccoli on the plate.
Oh lovely, Lisa! I’m excited to hear how it turns out for you. Yes, we love a starch and vegetable with every meal. :) The colors are so vibrant—it was a treat to look at (and of course, to eat). You might also be happy to know that we drizzled tahini on top of our sweet potatoes. A nod to your awesome sesame post, which I’m still thinking about. :)
Thanks for sharing your story and this interesting beef stew recipe, Leslie. I’m curious about the rice dish your sister-in-law served with the kavurma. Could you share her recipe for that sometime? I’ve been enjoying your recipe for focaccia. Made it three times so far and it’s a keeper!
Hi Zoe! I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you for sharing. :) And thanks for asking about the rice. Turkish people have a way with rice. Actually, it’s one of the “dishes” (they would consider it more of a side) I couldn’t get enough of the first time my mother-in-law made it. I plan to share a recipe for it soon! Please stay tuned. 😊
Hi, Leslie. That looks delicious. I'm also interested in the yogurt drink. I'm not much of a soda/sports drink consumer, but sometimes I need an option that is not just switching to a different style of tea.
Hi Vaunda! Thank you and thanks for asking :) Ayran is a pretty simple drink - just blend together 1 part plain (ideally whole milk) yogurt with 1 part cold water and a pinch of salt. It’s best to put it in a blender to make it a bit frothy, but if you don’t have one, you can just whisk it vigorously until homogenous.
It took me a bit of time to enjoy, but I do like it now. It requires using a yogurt that you like. Add the salt sparingly and adjust with more water if you want to thin it out.
Everything about this dish is simply phenomenal 😋🤤😅 Your descriptions are so accurate 🎯

Let me know if you try it and what you think!
