I've seen the tantuni about and wish I'd done it but don't think I'll have time, I go home tomorrow night, got tomorrow in Asia, I've had a few kebabs but want to try a proper non processed lamb one before going home, done a kofte, haven't even seen a islak hamburger, have been enjoying backlava but it swings wildly, had some near galata bridge this morning which was 3 pieces 1 tea for 7tl then had some near my hotel in sultanahmet this afternoon for 3 pieces, 2 teas 22tl, just got in from a meal and a drink its desperate out here, there's no one about I tend to be l aning towards ottoman cuisine been some good surprising stuff on it, tonight I had lamb with a walnut paste with some rosemary sauce, the missus had and I've done this before at home and it's awesome, deep fried ravioli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Google doesn't seem to know Yueng chicken is like a chicken fried rice dish kung po is my go to Chinese dish at the moment but I've bought a bag of Sichuan peppercorns, incredible stuff, lots of flavour, spicy and numbs your mouth in a really weird way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Discovered passata, it's basically somewhere in between a tin of chopped tomatoes and a tin of tomato soup so far tried it with grated onion, garlic paste, chorizo, harissa paste awesome stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Yeah saw it on a YouTube video last week, I was tinned tomatoes all the way, not a tomato paste fan, it's a proper game changer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Passata is also great in curries. Saves you having to water down tomato puree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
