Paçanga Böreği

Table balance
Alongside
Pickles or an onion-and-lemon salad: acidity cuts the fat and lightens the plate. Unsalted bread and plenty of water; a second salty side would dull the plate.
To drink
Ayran (salted yogurt drink) or turnip juice — the classic partner to a rich meat plate. Ayran or plain tea; a sweet drink beside pastry brings on fullness sooner.
