ABOUT THE RECIPE

Ready to spice up your snack game? Meet Ezme, a fiery and flavorful Turkish vegetable spread that’s about to become your new favorite. Packed with fresh ingredients and a spicy kick, this spread is perfect for those who love a bit of heat in their meals. Easy to make and bursting with vibrant flavors, Ezme is not just a dish – it’s an experience. Let’s dive into this exciting world of Turkish cuisine together!

How to serve
It’s an excellent companion to warm, crusty bread or pita. For a traditional touch, pair it with other mezze like hummus, baba ganoush, or tzatziki. It also makes a fantastic topping for grilled meats or veggies, adding a zesty punch to your meals. For a quick snack, spread it on toast or use it as a dip for fresh veggies. The spicy, tangy flavors will elevate any dish you serve it with. I like to serve it with this Turkish Flatbread (Bazlama) and Mint Yogurt & Cucumber Dill Salad (Cacik inspired) as a Meze variation.

How to store
Place it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge. It stays fresh for up to 5 days, allowing you to enjoy its spicy goodness throughout the week. If you’re planning to make a big batch, you can freeze portions for up to a month. Just thaw it in the fridge overnight, and it’s ready to bring that burst of flavor back to your table.

Ingredients

Units Scale

SALAD

  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 15 grams parsley

DRESSING

  • 2 tbsp pepper paste
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste

Peel and quarter the red onion, peel the garlic cloves, and roughly remove the thick stems from the parsley. Place everything in a food processor and pulse until everything is finely chopped but still recognizable. We don’t want a paste!

  3. In a bowl, mix the dressing ingredients: hot paprika paste, tomato paste, olive oil, sumac, dried mint, salt, pomegranate syrup, and lemon juice until it forms a creamy consistency.
  4. Place the vegetable mixture into a larger bowl and add the dressing. Stir well until it becomes a creamy, firm, dark red mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can serve it immediately or refrigerate it for a few hours to enhance the flavors.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

This dish is like a hug in a bowl – a refreshing and vibrant mix of flavors that will take your taste buds on a little adventure. Perfect for when you’re craving something light yet satisfying, this bowl is loaded with fresh veggies like juicy mango, crisp red cabbage, and tender edamame, all sitting on a bed of fluffy rice. And the kicker? A drizzle of spicy mayo sauce that ties everything together with just the right amount of heat.

How to serve
To serve, grab a big, beautiful bowl and start with a generous layer of rice. Arrange the colorful veggies on top – think creamy avocado, bright mango, and that gorgeous purple cabbage. Lay your protein of choice (like tender salmon) over the top, and then drizzle on the spicy mayo sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and a little wakame salad for that extra touch. Serve it chilled and watch your guests (or yourself) light up with every bite!

How to store
Got leftovers? Store each component separately in airtight containers to keep everything fresh. The rice and veggies will last about 2-3 days in the fridge. Just keep the sauce in a small jar and give it a good shake before using it again. It’s best not to store thawed raw salmon. If you can’t finish it, cook it and enjoy it the next day or later the same day.

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Imagine sitting down to a salad that feels like a hug on a plate – some warm components, some crispy ones, and bursting with flavors that dance together perfectly. The savory crunch of caramelized bacon paired with the creamy, tangy goat cheese is an experience in itself. Add in the fresh burst of blackberries, crisp cucumber, and the subtle sweetness of pear, and you’ve got a dish that’s not just a salad but a full-on flavor journey.

How to serve
This salad is perfect as a main dish or a side, but honestly, it’s so good you’ll want to make it the star of the meal. Serve it on a large platter, allowing all those gorgeous colors to pop. Drizzle the blackberry balsamic vinaigrette just before serving for that fresh, tangy finish. Pair it with a light white wine or sparkling water with a splash of lemon, and you’ve got yourself a meal that feels like a treat.

How to store
If you’ve got leftovers, store the salad and dressing separately to keep everything crisp and fresh. Place the salad in an airtight container in the fridge, and it should stay good for about 1-2 days. The vinaigrette can be stored in a jar for up to three days.

Recommended Equipment

  • tall container
  • hand blender
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • three deep plates
  • small frying pan
  • oven
  • salad bowl

Ingredients

Units Scale

VINAIGRETTE

  • 50 grams blackberries
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove
  • salt, pepper & cayennepepper to taste

GOAT CHEESE

  • 100 grams goat cheese
  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp panko
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • clarified butter for frying

BACON

  • 50 grams bacon
  • brown sugar

SALAD

  • 150 grams mixed green salad
  • 50 grams blackberries
  • 1 small red onion
  • 2 tbsp pecan nuts
  • 1/4 cucumber
  • 1/2 pear
  • 2 radishes
  • chives

Instructions

  1. In a tall container, add all the ingredients for the vinaigrette and blend with a hand blender until you get a smooth dressing. If it seems too thick, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of cold water. Place it in the fridge until ready to use.
  2. Next, cut the salad into bite-sized pieces, wash thoroughly, and place in a salad bowl. Wash the chives thoroughly as well, and cut them into fine rings.
  3. Wash and dry the radishes, cucumber, and pear. Peel the red onion. Slice everything thinly and distribute over the salad, along with the blackberries.
  4. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F. Lay the bacon strips on a sheet of baking paper and sprinkle each strip with about 1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the sugar has melted and caramelized.
  5. Now prepare three small deep plates. Fill the first one with wheat flour, beat an egg with salt in the second, and mix breadcrumbs, panko, and thyme in the third. Cut the goat cheese into thick slices, then coat each slice first in flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumb-panko mixture. Press everything down firmly.
  6. Take the bacon out of the oven and let it cool. Once cooled, tear it into pieces and sprinkle over the salad.
  7. Heat some clarified butter in a pan and fry the goat cheese rounds until crispy on all sides. Place them on the salad.
  8. Finally, sprinkle a bit of chives on top as a garnish. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving.
