Cod with Turkish Eggplant and Peppers 

I saw a recipe on 177milkstreet.com for a classic Turkish mezze, which I thought could be the basis for a good one-pot Lenten dinner with the addition of cod (or some other seafood) and some good bread.  It was in fact very tasty.   This recipe is for 4 servings.  (In fact, we made 4 servings Read More …

A very popular street food in Istanbul is mussels stuffed with rice.  This is a simpler deconstructed version in which the mussels are put on top of a bed of flavored rice.  It is adapted from John Gregory-Smith’s book Turkish Delights and serves 4.  (Half it if serving 2 people.) I used frozen NZ mussels Read More …

Adana Kebabs

A popular Turkish kebab is made from ground lamb.  This version is based on a recipe in Turkish Delights.  I found that it did not stick together well on our Turkish skewers, so I grilled it with out them.  It had a tendency to stick to the grill.  Possibly I should have chopped it more Read More …
