چیگ کفته
این کفته که از سنت‌های شانلی‌اوره و آدیامان سرچشمه می‌گیرد، از بلغور ریز که با ادویه و فلفل تند ساعت‌ها ورز داده می‌شود، تهیه می‌شود. نسخه بدون گوشت آن امروز به طور گسترده‌ای با کاهو و لیمو مصرف می‌شود.
Why this: Something sour → ekşimsi · Something hot → acılı · Spice-forward → acılı · Light → hafif
Table balance
Alongside
Cacık or plain yogurt: dairy tames chili heat far faster than water does.
Afterwards
After a spice-forward plate, a plain herbal infusion clears the palate. After a light main there is room for a syrupy dessert in this meal.
Easy to miss
Iced water only masks the heat for a moment; it comes back quickly.
