Flavours of the Ottoman Empire
Flavours of the Ottoman Empire
Hosted by Ozlem Graves
The Ottoman Empire was one of the largest and longest-lasting empires in history - and one of the most culinarily inclined. Ottoman Cuisine is a delicious and unique blend of Turkish, Central Asian Turks, Seljuks, Middle Eastern and Byzantines.
I will be teaching some of the most delicious signature dishes of sultans such as wedding soup, a celebration dish called ‘Sultan’s favourite’ and a popular milky almond dessert you can cook up at home for your friends and family to enjoy.
Düğün çorbası – Creamy soup with chicken and smoked paprika butter sauce
Hünkar beğendi – Chunks of meltingly sweet lamb cooked with oregano and tomatoes served on the smoked aubergine and cheese puree
Fıstıklı pilav – Spiced pilaf with cinnamon, pine kernels and apricots
Keşkül – Milky dessert with almond, poppy seeds and raspberries
