Day 19 Iftar Menu

We continue on Day 19 with tried-and-tested recipes to suit different palates for the most delicious iftar menus in the country! Today, we have prepared an elegantly presented iftar table for you. We open our iftar with Purple Carrot Soup — one of our unique and stomach-friendly iftar soup recipes. After this distinctive soup, we continue with another special and extraordinary dish: Beykoz Kebab, featuring eggplant, meat, and potatoes all in one, rounded out with a refreshing, mint-packed Cacık (yogurt-cucumber dip). We close our iftar with İncir Uyutması (Stewed Figs in Cream), a classic among traditional iftar dessert recipes...

SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT

Many of us don't know about purple carrots, or we see them at the market but aren't sure how to use them. You can make all sorts of things with purple carrots, but the soup is incredibly delicious!

FOR THE RECIPE: Purple Carrot Soup

TWO IN ONE

A wonderful recipe that eliminates the need to cook a meat dish and separately make mashed potatoes... The eggplant contains both mashed potatoes and meat all in one!

FOR THE RECIPE: Beykoz Kebab

REFRESHING

Since we used pilaf the day before, we prepared a refreshing, mint-packed Cacık (yogurt-cucumber dip) to serve alongside this wonderful kebab. That said, if you have leftover pilaf from the previous day, it will pair beautifully with this dish as well.

FOR THE RECIPE: Cacık (Yogurt-Cucumber Dip)

TRADITIONAL

İncir Uyutması (Stewed Figs in Cream) is one of the most classic and traditional desserts, and it is very much loved during Ramadan. If you've heard of it but haven't tried making it yet, this is the iftar to give it a go!

MAY YOUR TABLE BE FULL OF ABUNDANCE...
