On our Istanbul tour with Culinary Backstreets, our good friend Özlem Warren taught us to make her tepsi kebabi, or “tray kebab”: a skillet of juicy meat and roasted vegetables from Antakya. It’s the epitome of simple abundance. Spiced meat, tomatoes, and loads of veggies arranged in concentric circles, baked in a tray til browned and bubbly. Özlem makes hers a bit differently from the traditional format, as her mother does, by inserting potato wedges into the meat—helping the meat cook faster and more evenly, while soaking up the delicious meaty, tomatoey juices.
This creates what our education director Rosie Gill calls the “money potato,” a central potato wedge that must be hoarded.
We hadn’t thought to do this in our Turkish-style skillet kebab recipe, and now it’s the best part of that dish.
And if you’re not aware of Özlem’s cooking or writing, look up “Sebze”—it’s one of the most beautiful cookbooks of all time, in our opinion!
