Recipe for orange spoon sweet:

2 kilos oranges

800g granulated sugar

800g water

1 tablespoon glucose

2 pods cardamom

2 cinnamon sticks

lemon juice of 1 lemon

execution method:

Remove the zest of the oranges and add it to a bowl. You can add 80 g brandy and 2 tablespoons sugar, and use it as orange extract. Store it in the refrigerator, sealed in a jar.

Cut the top and bottom ends of the oranges and then score the rind all around the orange. Carefully remove the peels, wrap them, and pierce them with a toothpick.

Transfer the peels to a pot with boiling water and boil for 5 minutes to remove their bitterness. Drain the water and follow the same process -using clean water- for 1-2 more times, depending on the bitterness of the rind. If the peels take out too much color in the water, it means that they are quite bitter. Drain and set aside.

In the same pot add the sugar, the water, the glucose, the cinnamon, the cardamom, the peels of the oranges, and transfer over low heat. Boil for 40-50 minutes.

Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice.

Let it cool well. The more the syrup is cooling down, the more it will thicken.

Serve with yogurt and rosemary. You can store it sealed airtight in a jar, in a cool and dry place.

Kebab is one of Turkey's most popular dishes. It comes from a centuries-long tradition. With both its flavor and cultural importance, it is an indispensable part of Turkish cuisine.

Let's take a look at how to make Turkish Kebab!

Ingredients:

-> 500 g of minced meat

-> 1 onion

-> 100 g of tail fat or two tablespoons of butter

-> 2 cloves of garlic

-> 1 chili pepper

-> 1 teaspoon of pepper paste

-> salt, black pepper, you can add red pepper flakes if you like.

Recipe:

Finely chop or grate the onion and garlic. The seeds must be removed from the chili pepper, and it should be chopped very small.

The minced meat should be placed in a deep bowl. Please add the following ingredients: onion, garlic, chopped peppers, pepper paste, and chopped tail fat. If desired, you may add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

It is essential to knead all the ingredients for at least 10-15 minutes. The mixture should stick together well and thicken. (In Adana style, the minced meat thickens as it is kneaded).

Please use a small amount of water to wet your hand, and then carefully press the minced meat onto the skewers. Roll the meat into long, thin shapes. (Classic Adana kebab is a little flat.)

The kebabs can be rested on skewers in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes. This will prevent them from falling apart.

Cook on a barbecue, grill or cast iron skillet over medium heat. (If you are barbecuing, it gives the best results if the coals have become embers).

This dish is best served on lavash or pita bread with a roasted pepper, tomato, and onion salad with plenty of sumac.
