Istanbul – 2008
ANKARA – Turkey yesterday stood firmly behind the policy it has pursued throughout the Gaza crisis and said it would do the same if Israel relaunched an operation into Hamas controlled Gaza.
The Turkish cities of Sanliurfa (also known as Urfa) and Gaziantep
(also known as Antep) are particularly famous for their lahmacun, also
representing the two different Turkish styles of making it. The
Urfa-style lahmacun has onion among its ingredients,while the
Antep-style lahmacun has garlic instead.
Recipe / Ingredients
For 4 servings
* Flour
* 75g lamb meat
* Four thinly chopped onions
* One tomato
* One tablespoon of paprika sauce
* Ten leaves of parsley
* Salt, black pepper, capsicum
Preparation
Raw minced meat (should be minced by knife instead of machine to get a
better texture), extremely thin chopped onion, chopped tomato, paprika
sauce, chopped parsley, butter, salt, pepper and capsicum are mixed.
Salt, pepper and capsicum are added as the cooker wishes.
Risen bread dough is divided into hickory-nut sized pieces. They are
processed using an oklava, a tool to make dough thinner. Flour is
recommended to be used along with the oklava. After the dough is thin
enough, the previously mentioned mixture (salt, pepper, and capsicum)
is distributed over the dough. It should be cooked in a stone oven for
a richer taste.
An Iraqi Kurdish commander called on the terror organization PKK lay down arms and leave northern Iraq, which it uses as a base to launch cross-border attacks into Turkey.
