Example text

As is the custom in most countries around the Middle East and eastern Mediterranean, Turks enjoy taking time over their food. Families eat together rather than in shifts, as is so often the case in Western countries. Meal times are for togetherness and sharing, not for eating with one eye on the television. Food is on the table to be savoured and lingered over, rather than rushed through. And even in big, modern cities like Istanbul this attitude is still present more often than not. 31 Growers, sellers and consumers all share a respect for the food they eat.

We need to find a pideci,’ he announced. ’ No surprises there! Lahmacun – the Turkish equivalent of his favourite Lebanese lunch, lahme bi-ajeen, is the Eastern version of lamb-topped pizza. The best pide restaurants have wood-fired ovens and will usually offer a limited range of other options — kebabs and soups — as well. By chance, we happened upon a wonderful Black Sea-style pide restaurant in a street tucked away between the Sultanahmet tramline and the Grand Bazaar. There were simple soups and salads, and in front of a large wood-fired oven two young men were working briskly in tandem, rolling and stretching out dough, forming the traditional long boat shapes, adding a variety of toppings and thrusting the pide into the deep glowing recesses.

Remove the pan from the heat, then carefully ladle the stock into a container, discarding the solids but reserving the lamb shanks. (Don’t be tempted to tip everything into a sieve: the less you disturb the solids at this stage, the clearer the final broth will be. ) Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold running water. Bring to the boil with 300 ml reserved lamb stock in a small saucepan, then lower the heat and drizzle in ½ teaspoon of the extra-virgin olive oil. Simmer gently, covered, for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender.
