A brilliant platter.
- Thanks! I make the lentil and bulgur Köfte a lot. They're so easy and delicious.
  
  My local store sells cig köfte (pardon the spelling, my keyboard doesn't support some special characters) cheap. I thought about making some but I was told that it involved a lot of kneading and it's hard to make. Kinda disappointed that I didn't try the local ones in Istanbul.
  I'm guessing homemade is a lot better than store-bought?
Lovely 😍
The stuff in the blue bowl looks a lot like muhammara. Either way, looks delicious.
- Yes. Same thing, different name!
This looks out of control good! Thanks for sharing with us!!
- Thanks. I'll be honest it's the nicest looking food I've ever prepared. Most of my food ends up as tasty slop! 😆
That's no meze, that's a feast!
- You were so close...
Oh woah! How can I replicate this? Any recipes?
- Admittedly it took a while to make everything, but i ate for days 😆. Mercimek Köftesi, Msabbaha (this is so similar to humus just a different texture, you could use whatever humus recipe you prefer and add dried fruits), Mutabbal, Kısır, Açuka (this is great just on toast), Ezme salad
  Edit: bloody hell, LiftOff did not make that easy...
  
  Thank you very much. This is perfect to share with friends and I love mediterranean food.
  As for lemmy app, I'll suggest you try Voyager or Thunder. Both are FOSS and have VERY good UI.
I'd eat each one of those as a meal on its own. I probably have already.
- I feel you. I too have portion control problems 😆.
That looks so good right now, I want a Dolma well bad.
