Ok, what are you having for (lunch today) or dinner tonight because although this salad has been on my blog, IG page and YouTube channel for years, I first posted a reel for it EXACTLY A YEAR AGO TODAY, and I think it’s safe to say, that it’s been VERY popular ever since 🫠! It is THE perfect (viral) salad to have on repeat, now and always 💚🧡❤️💜 Finely chop EVERYTHING as finely as possible (except for the pomegranate seeds and dressing ingredients obvs) and you will notice ALL the difference - dare I say, it’s even better the next day! #pleasemakeit INGREDIENTS 250g red cabbage, finely diced 1/2 English cucumber (deseeded) / 2 medium middle-eastern cucumbers (deseeded), finely diced 1 large red Romano pepper / kapya biber, finely diced 2 spring onions, finely sliced 50g fresh coriander, very finely chopped (stalks and leaves) 200g pomegranate seeds 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice 1 tbsp white wine vinegar 2 tsp dried mint 1 tsp honey 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses 1/2 tsp sea salt flakes (or more to taste) #melizcooks #salad #choppedsalad #finelychopped #lunchideas #DinnerIdeas #redcabbage #redpepper #capsicum #cucumber #cilantro #evoo #saladdressing #springonions #scallions #thenewhealthy #Summer #summerrecipe #saladrecipes #viralsalad #fyp #crunchysalad #melizcooks

Slow-Roasted Lamb cooked in chicken stock: SAVE THIS ⬇️ If you have a lovely joint of lamb leg or shoulder in the fridge and aren’t sure how to cook it this weekend, then this one is for you. Method: For a small 1.5kg leg / shoulder of lamb - brush with extra virgin olive oil and season heavily, all over, including the underside, with sea salt and coarse black pepper then lay on a trivet of onions, garlic, fresh thyme, bay leaves, rosemary and extra virgin olive oil - preheat oven to 200c fan / 220c, roast for 30 mins, take out, add 500ml chicken stock to the tray, cover tightly with foil, reduce heat to 160c fan / 180c, cook for 4 hours (do not baste or take tray out of the oven), then remove the foil and cook for a final 30 mins uncovered. Take out and rest, covered with foil, for 30 mins before serving. If you have a slightly larger lamb leg /shoulder 1..6-1.75kg, cook for an extra 30 minutes covered (4 1/2 hours covered instead of 4), 1.75-2kg, cook for an extra hour covered (5 hours covered instead of 4), 2-2.5kg, an extra 90 minutes (5 1/2 hours covered instead of 4) covered before taking the foil off. And yes, you can make this with a leg of lamb too. These timings are a guide, so just keep an eye on the amount of liquid in the tray / the browning of the lamb towards the end of the cooking time. #sundayroast #sundaydinner #roastlamb #roastdinner #lambshoulder #slowroasted #melizcooks

CHEAT’S EZME (Chilli Sauce) 🌶️🧅🧄🌿🍅 Want to see how quick and easy it is to make my “Cheat’s Ezme” chilli sauce? Here you go. Great for loading up into kebabs, burgers and hotdogs for bonfire night, and for dipping crisps and chips into! Like most of my recipes, it’s been on my blog for years and we LOVE this stuff. Full recipe in both og my cookbooks and on my YouTube channel too - depending on the brand of red pepper paste / tomato purée you use, add salt to taste (and a little pinch of sugar too). Keeps well in the fridge for 4 days (it tastes better the next day), so keep it fresh and keep on dipping, pouring and loading it up. #ezme #chilli #chillisauce #fakeaway #kebab #bonfirenight #PleaseMakeIt #chillies #tomatoes #chipsanddip #partyfood #simplerecipe #fyp

Ok, what are you having for dinner tonight because I really think you should be making my Yanyana Tavası. When I first travelled to Türkiye as a little girl with my family (over 30 years ago) we went on an excursion to Kemer and had lunch in a very traditional restaurant by the side of a mountain; we sat on the floor on carpets, and were served a huge tray of Etli Yanyana Tavası (an oven-baked dish made with small pieces of lamb and vegetables cooked together, “yanyana”(beside/next to each other)), which was placed in the centre of the table, with nothing other than bread to collectively tuck into it with. I’ve posted the photo on my stories. As Cypriots, we often slow-cook meals like this with bone-in joints of meat, such as lamb shanks or lamb neck on the bone, but Tava and Güveç from Türkiye are traditionally made with “kuşbaşı” (teeny tiny) pieces of lamb. I use a similar milk-based marinade here to the lamb chop recipe in Meliz’s Kitchen. Full recipe for this Yanyana Tavası on my blog. If you don’t have a round tray, use a large rectangular once - just make sure it’s large, metal-based (not glass or ceramic) and shallow so the vegetables crisp up rather than just steam. Serves 6 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoon Turkish sweet red pepper paste 50ml milk 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp ground pul biber 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp dried mint 600g boneless lamb shoulder / neck fillet, cut into tiny pieces 10 garlic cloves, peeled and left whole 1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt flakes 3/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper 2 onions, peeled and chopped into 2cm pieces 1 large courgette, chopped into 2cm pieces 1 medium aubergine, chopped into 2cm pieces 2 romano/ medium red bell peppers, cored and chopped into 2cm pieces 2 large Charleston/ medium green bell peppers, cored and chopped into 2cm pieces 700g Maris piper potatoes, peeled and chopped into 2cm cubes 4 tomatoes, chopped into 2cm pieces 2 Bay leaves #yanyanatavası #tepsi #onepot #onepotmeal #cosyweekend #fridaynight #fridaydinner #friday #lazyweekend #weekenddinner #slowweekend #slowcooking #lamb #vegetables

Ok, welcome to another episode of Meliz’s Meyhane, and today I’m showing you how to make Tavuk Kanat, chicken wings! Simple but attentive prep, simple but effective marinate, and simple but dedicated cooking method over the coals (oven and air fryer timings also listed below). Let’s go. INGREDIENTS (serves 4-6) 1kg chicken wings 3 tbsp natural yogurt 1 tbsp tatlı biber salçası 1 tbsp fresh garlic, finely grated 2 tsp pul biber 2 tsp sweet paprika / kırmızı toz biber* 2 tsp oregano 1 1/2 tsp sea salt 3/4 tsp coarse black pepper 1 tbsp olive oil PREPARATION Cut the tips from the chicken wings (freeze the tips to add to / make chicken stock), then separate the drums from the flats by cutting the wings down the middle along the natural separation of the wing bone joint. MARINADE Add all of the marinate ingredients (only 1 tsp of the salt) to a large bowl and mix well. Add the chicken drums and flats and coat each one fully in the marinade. Cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for a minimum of 12 hours, 24 if possible. Thread each one onto large flat skewers or onto two long metal skewers (easier to turn for an even cook). MANGAL COOKING Light your coals - be generous with the amount, there should be A LOT of coal but they should be white once ready to cook. A lot of low coals will ensure a steady even cook and tender chicken rather than a) high heat coals = burnt chicken, not tender b) low heat but not enough coal = not cooked through / crispy enough. I like to cook the chicken slowly for around 20-25 minutes turning regularly until evenly cooked all over, creating a couple of slits across the skin and sprinkle over the remaining 1/2 tsp sea salt once the chicken is around 5 minutes away from being done for a really tasty, tender finish. Air fryer: 190c 20-25 minutes, turning a couple of times. Preheated oven: 190c fan / 210c, middle shelf, lined baking tray, 30-35 minutes, turn halfway through #melizcooks #meyhane #TavukKanat #ChickenWings #chicken #crispychicken #MangalKeyfi #BBQChicken #bbq #barbecue #summerfood #airfryer #airfryerrecipe #bbqrecipe #marinade #melizcooks

Ok, what are you having for (lunch) or dinner tonight because I REALLY think you should make my little girl’s favourite ocakbaşı-style salata 💚💛🧡❤️🩷💜 delicious, crunchy, moreish, juicy, so good. The key is to shred and slice EVERYTHING as finely as possible. The full recipe is in Dinner Tonight, the method is on the reel - mix the lemon juice and vinegar together and dress the shredded cabbage with half of this mixture first to lightly pickle the red cabbage before the pomegranate molasses and extra virgin olive oil are added and then layer up the rest of the ingredients #pleasemakeit INGREDIENTS SERVES 4–6 Prep: 15 minutes 2 tbsp lemon juice 2 tbsp red wine vinegar or grape vinegar 250g (9oz) red cabbage, cored and very finely shredded 25g (1oz) fresh flat leaf parsley leaves, half finely chopped and the other half roughly chopped 1 tsp dried mint ½ tsp sea salt flakes 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses 1 small carrot, coarsely grated or cut julienne-style 2 large, ripe tomatoes, halved, then thickly sliced 1 small red onion, peeled, halvedand very finely sliced 1 small Middle Eastern, Persian or Crooks cucumber, or ¼ English cucumber (deseeded), finely sliced 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 heaped tsp sumac #melizcooks #salad #choppedsalad #finelysliced #lunchideas #DinnerIdeas #redcabbage #cucumber #parsley #evoo #sumac #saladdressing #redonion #thenewhealthy #saladrecipes #crunchysalad #melizcooks

How to cook like a Kıbrıslı: Melek Nene’s Pazili Kuru Börülce (Pan Fried Chard & Black Eyed Beans) 🫘 🧅 🧄 🌿 🍋 🫒 Serves 6–8 450g cooked black eyed beans* (see notes in pinned comment) 200 g (7 oz) Swiss chard roughly chopped (stems removed, finely chopped and kept to one side) or the same quantity of spinach 3 tbsp olive oil 1 large onion, peeled and finely diced 1/2 tsp sea salt flakes 4 garlic cloves, finely sliced For the dressing 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve 4 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp sea salt flakes 1 tsp dried mint METHOD: If using dried black eyed beans, spread them out evenly on a large tray and remove and discard any stones or broken beans. Soak and cook as per the instructions below. You can check that they’re cooked by squeezing one of the cooked beans in between your thumb and forefinger. Once cooked, remove the pan from the heat and drain the beans in a colander. You cook prepare these the night before too but I love using them when they’re still warm from being freshly cooked as the beans soak up the flavour and juices of the remaining ingredients better this way. Wash the chard thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit before roughly chopping the leaves. In a frying pan, heat the olive oil, add the onion, along with the 1/2 tsp sea sally flakes and soften over a low heat for 12–15 minutes until translucent. Add the finely chopped chard stalks and cook for a few minutes more. Once softened, increase the heat a little so the onions and chard stalks start to caramelise, then add the garlic, turn the heat down again and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the chopped chard leaves to the pan, reduce the heat and cook until the greens have wilted. Remove the pan from the heat, add the drain beans to the pan and stir well until the beans are fully coated in the greens, onions and garlic. Transfer the mixture to a serving dish. Drizzle and sprinkle over all of the dressing ingredients, stir well and serve with an extra drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. It’s the perfect accompaniment to Badadez Köftesi (coming soon) and fresh or canned fish such as tuna or smoked mackerel, chips, bread and a fresh salad. #melizcooks #beans #salad COOKING TIPS: * if using dried beans, soak 250g dried black-eyed beans overnight in lots of cold water then rinsed, added to a large pan of 2.5 litres (4½ pints) cold water - bring up to the boil, then simmer on a low heat for around for 45mins-1hr (I don’t add the juice of a lemon as the acid can react with the tenderness of the beans but if you prefer too to keep the colour of the beans brighter then that’s totally up to you. I like to use the Bodrum or Duru Black Eyed Beans (akutu Börülce). OR 2 x 400g cans black eyes beans, drained (480g drained weight) rinsed

Meliz Cooks Good Food: Episode 2, Ezme. This a wonderful side dish / dip / salad to have on your dinner table for Kurban Bayramı / Eid-al-Adha. Perfect to spoon into and onto lots of lovely delicious things. Ezme means “to crush” and it refers to the crushed texture of this salad. Authentic ezme is very finely hand-chopped, but feel free to use a food-processor if you have one, like I have suggested in the recipe – you will get a much finer texture but still keep it textured. It keeps well in the fridge to enjoy over the next few days with friends and family 🌙 ⭐️ Full recipe on the @goodfoodeveryday website. Link in bio. * 2-3 large ripe tomatoes quartered, around 400g * 1 medium kapya biber / Romano / Red pointed pepper and roughly chopped * 1 medium sivri biber or small green chilli, deseeded and roughly chopped * 1 small onionroughly chopped * 2 large garlic cloves crushed * 25g fresh flat-leaf parsley * 2 tbsp red pepper paste * 1 tbsp tomato purée * 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses * 1 tbsp pul biber * 2 tsp sumac * 1 tbsp dried mint * 60ml extra virgin olive oil #melizcooks #ezme #meze #mezze #bayram #Recipe #tomatoes #peppers #capsicum #evoo #pomegranatemolasses #eid #goodfood #melizcooks

Tuzlu Fıstık: Salted Peanuts. The snack of my childhood. 🥜🫶🏼🧿 INGREDIENTS 650g large raw red skin peanuts 4 tbsp cold water 2 tbsp plain flour 1 1/2 tsp fine sea salt flakes METHOD: Preheat oven to 190°c fan / 210c. Add the peanuts to a large bowl, pour in the water and stir well so all the peanuts are fully coated. Sprinkle in the plain flour, stir well again until the water and flour form a white paste that covers all the peanuts. Keep stirring until there is no liquid left in the bowl. Stir through the salt, mixing well then place everything on a shallow baking tray lined with baking paper. Place the tray in the oven bake for 18 minutes on the middle shelf, take the tray out give the peanuts a gentle stir, and pop back in the oven for another two minutes. Take out and allow to cool fully (the nuts won’t be fully crunchy whilst hot - they need to cool down first) before storing in clean, fully dry, sterilised jars. They keep well, sealed tightly in jars, in a cool dark place for up to a month #peanuts #saltedpeanuts #fıstık #snackideas #snacks #EasyRecipe #simplerecipe #melizcooks #fyp
