Yufkalı Rulo Köfte (Roll Burger covered with Turkish Flat Brad)
It is been long time that i didnt cook. I lost my dad recently and after him my granddad. It is pity to know that they will never ever again taste the foods i cooked. The cooking make me feel good. Good way to distract you. And always enjoyable moments when you share good food with your loved ones. I am lucky that i have a family that doesnt make harsh comments about my foods:)
Turkish people make lots of different types of Köfte recipes. This recipe can be counted my favorite.
İçli Köfte (Stuffed Bulghur Ball with Meat)
This is another traditional Turkish Food which is not so easy to make. You need really talented hands to make these balls. It is mostly served in Southern part of Turkey. You can find some variations of these dish in arab countries that called Kıbbah. Yes, it is not easy to make but it definetly worth to try.
If it will be your first trial, you can cook 1 potato and put into bulghur, so you will avoid bulghur to messed up , and plus you will not need to knead too much.
Mutancana (Fatih Sultan Mehmed's favorite lamb dish)
I was searching about what to cook from Ottoman Kitchen and I found out Mutancana which is a lamb dish cooked with dry fruits and almond. As I read more about it, I learnt It was the Fatih Sultan Mehmed (who conquered Istanbul)' s favorite dish , it was cooked in Palace Kitchen during 15th century, few days in a week and Sultan have been eating it with Keşkek ( http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/keskek.aspx?pageID=500&eid=85)
However it seems difficult dish to cook, the result would be definetly worth your efford.

Arnavut Ciğeri(Fried Liver)Recipe
Monday, August 27, 2012
As far as i read, this dish was cooked by Albenians who were living in İstanbul during 16th century, and thats why we call it Albenian liver. I honestly doubt that if albenians aware of this dish , because we call a lot of foods with country names which they dont have any idea..My ex was iranian and once i seen a pie called iranian pie, i thought it would be nice surprise for him and bought , but he said that they dont have anythng like this in iran:)
Anyhow whether it is albenian dish or turkish , it is delicious which you can prepare in 10 min.

Musakka is an eggplant dish which is cooked in a large region from Mediterranean to Middle East.
In Turkey we call it Musakka, in some region it is called Mousaka or .
The preffered cooking way is fry the eggplants first but if you wish you can cook the eggplants in the oven instead of frying. Although frying is fatty and unhealthy way to cook but i think that is the thing which make it sooo delicious.
