101 Healthy Vegan Turkish Recipes - Bryan Rylee
Introduction:
It’s impossible to separate the history of the Turkish cuisine from the history of Turkey itself and its people. It is a well-known fact that the Turkish do not give up on their traditional foods easily, and for that reason we get to enjoy all these amazing foods. The Turkish people have taken care of their heritage and have passed the recipes from generation to generation, so that they survive in time, regardless of what those times bring. In addition, Turks are fairly conservative with their foods, and they follow strict customs and habits when it comes to their food.
––––––––
But it shouldn’t surprise us that Turkish cuisine is one of the greatest in the world. After all, Turkey is positioned in the Mediterranean area, and it has fertile grounds which allow people to grow vegetables and herbs. Turkey also has always been positioned in an area where it could easily gain control of most of the trade routes, so it had easy access to spices, herbs and ingredients that weren’t available elsewhere. Such advantages helped develop a long lasting and influential cuisine.
––––––––
There is a belief in Turkey that food is a symbol, and it often has established the social order. Turks were extremely protective with their territory in the past, but there were moments when they got together regardless of beliefs. Those moments were banquets and feasts where large amounts of foods were prepared, and everyone had a well-established role in order to make this happen. Large families often held feasts as a way of saying not only that they were rich, but also of stating that they are friendly and welcoming to people into their home. Giving food to your guests was a sign of good people, and those who shared their food with their guests were praised as important members of the society.
––––––––
A few base ingredients seem to keep showing up in Turkish recipes, and one of these ingredients is wheat although sometimes it is replaced with barley, rice or millet. Wheat has been part of this cuisine for centuries, and it still represents one of the most consumed food in Turkey, either in the form of bread, flat bread, pilaf or desserts.
––––––––
Vegetables were also a great part of the Turkish cuisine, although some of them were introduced in Turkey quite late, such as the eggplant. Turks adopted the eggplant and made it shine through dishes like Imam Baialdi. Apart from the eggplant the Turkish cuisine is similar to Mediterranean cuisine that relies heavily on fresh vegetables and plenty of herbs: tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchinis, olives, parsley and cilantro.
––––––––
Dried fruits and nuts are also specific to Turkish cuisines. Originally introduced by the Persians, the Turks taught them how to cook wheat in return. By 1200 B.C. the Turkish Empire moved westward into Anatolia, where they encountered chickpeas, figs, olive oil and an abundance of seafood. We can say that the Turkish cuisine fully developed its characteristics in the mid 1400’s when Turkish staples were developed: stuffed vegetables and salad, wrapped vegetables and rolls, thin sheets of dough and the use of spices in desserts.
