🇹🇷 Turkey recipe
Ali Nazik
Ali Nazik is a refined dish from Gaziantep that combines two of Turkish cuisine's greatest strengths: smoky charred eggplant and spiced lamb. A bed of fire-roasted eggplant is blended with thick strained yogurt and garlic, then topped with sauteed ground lamb seasoned with Aleppo pepper and finished with a drizzle of spiced butter. The interplay of smoky, tangy, and savory flavors makes it unforgettable.
