TURKISH YAĞLAMA — A TASTE OF KAYSERİ! 🍽️
Meet Yağlama, a beloved specialty from Kayseri, Turkey! Thin layers of flatbread are stacked with a rich, savory minced-meat sauce and served with creamy yogurt. Comfort food at its best! ❤️
🛒 INGREDIENTS
• 8 thin flatbreads or lavash breads
• 400 g ground beef
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 green pepper, chopped
• 2 tomatoes, grated or finely chopped
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• ½ cup water
• Salt, black pepper and paprika, to taste
• Plain yogurt, to serve
👩🏻🍳 METHOD
Heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the onion and green pepper and cook until softened.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned.
Stir in the tomato paste, tomatoes, salt, pepper and paprika.
Add the water and simmer for 8–10 minutes until you have a juicy, flavorful sauce.
Warm the flatbreads slightly. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce over one flatbread, place another on top and repeat until all the layers are stacked.
Cut into portions and serve warm with a generous spoonful of yogurt.
✨ PRO TIP
Keep the meat sauce moist so it softens the flatbread layers without making them soggy. Garlic yogurt makes a delicious addition!
