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

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

Hafta ortası lezzet, seni yakaladım. Hade bir Magarına Bulli’cik yapalım (rendelenmiş hellim, nane ve çıtır kızarmış tavukla Kıbrıs usulü makarna). Sevgiyle yapıldığında daha da güzelleşen, çok güzel, basit ve klasik bir Kıbrıs yemeği; makarna üzerine tavuk yağı dökmek ve servis ederken fazladan bir kepçe tavuk suyu eklemek gibi ekstra dokunuşlar, her şeyi değiştiriyor. Bazıları yemeği bir miktar limon suyuyla (ben) servis etmeyi sever, bazıları bir kepçe koyu süzme yoğurtla (evet, onu da alırım). Ben ekstra hellim ile servis etmeyi seviyorum. Kesinlikle cennet gibi. Tam tarif blogumda, bağlantı biyografimde - yahni tarifi, yemek kitabım “Meliz’s Kitchen”de. Yan not: isteyen pişmiş tavuk parçalarını tavada ocakta yağda kızartabilir (fırın kızartma yerine) tabi. 4-6 kişilik MALZEMELER 8-10 büyük tavuk budu 200 ml kaynar suda eritilmiş 1 tavuk bulyon küpü / 200ml sıcak tavuk kemik suyu 3/4 çay kaşığı tuz 1/2 çay kaşığı iri taneli karabiber 2 yemek kaşığı zeytinyağı 500 gr bucatini / ince fırın makarna 250 gr hellim (Halloumi) ince rendelenmiş 2 çay kaşığı kuru nane Servise: Ekşi (Limon suyu) ve süzme yoğurt Midweek comfort, I got you. Magarına Bulli (Cypriot Style Pasta with grated hellim, mint and Crispy Roasted Chicken). Such a beautifully simple and classic Cypriot dish, that is made even better when made with love, extra touches like pouring the chicken fat over the pasta, and spooning over an extra ladleful of the chicken stock to serve. Some love this dish with a squeeze of lemon juice (me), some with a dollop of thick strained yoghurt (yeah, I’ll take that too). I love it with extra lashings of hellim. Absolutely heavenly. Full recipe on my blog, link in bio - the yahni recipe, in my cookbook “Meliz’s Kitchen”. Serves 4-6 INGREDIENTS 8-10 large chicken thighs 1 chicken stock cube dissolved in 200ml boiling water 3/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp coarse black pepper 2 tbsp olive oil 500g pasta (traditionally bucatini or zite is used) 200g hellim (Halloumi) finely grated 2 tsp dried mint Squeeze of lemon juice #melizcooks #magarınabulli #magarına #pasta #makarna #tavuk #kıbrıs #chicken #crispychicken #roastchicken #Recipe #familyrecipe #comfortfood #fyp

ETLİ GÜVEÇ (LAYERED ONE-POT SLOW-COOKED BEEF & VEGETABLES): Ok, what are you having for dinner tonight, because you know as soon as my big casserole dish comes out, there’s some serious one pot delicious goodness coming your way. Think of this as the lazier, easier (if that’s even possible) sister version of Yanyana Tavası. The concept of Tava is very similar to Güveç, the only difference being that the latter is layered into a deep clay pot, weighted down, with the meat at the bottom, rather than spread out into a large round metal baking tray. It’s the perfect dish for long, lazy weekends due to the slow-cooking methods, but it makes a good, hearty midweek meal too. Recipe is on my blog (link in bio - it’s quite an old one, so search for “ETLI GÜVEÇ (LAYERED ONE-POT SLOW-COOKED BEEF & VEGETABLES)) and also in my first book, Meliz’s Kitchen. For this recipe I use braising beef, but you could also use the more traditional lamb, or chicken. Please make it. Serves 4-6 2 tbsp tomato purée 2 tbsp Turkish sweet red pepper paste (tatlı biber salçası) + 100ml boiling water 400ml chicken / beef stock 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 800 g (1 lb 9 oz) beef braising steak, diced 2 large red onions (300 g/10½ oz), thinly sliced 8 garlic cloves, peeled and bashed 2 bay leaves 1 1/2 tsp sea salt flakes ¾ tsp coarse black pepper 2 kapya biber / tomato / small red bell peppers 2 large long green mild (carliston) pepper / 2 small green bell peppers, cored, deseeded and cut into 2-3cm pieces 750 g (1 lb 10 oz) Cyprus or Maris Piper potatoes, peeled, cut into 3cm chunks 3 slices of fresh lemon ½ tsp dried mint 1 tsp dried oregano 4 tomatoes, halved and sliced #güveç #onepot #fyp #weekend #cooking
