Esinahkan

Esinahkan is a traditional Turkish dish that is particularly popular in the Aegean region of Turkey. It is a type of stuffed pasta, similar to ravioli, but with a unique twist. The dish consists of a thin, round pasta sheet filled with a mixture of ground meat, rice, and various spices. The most common meat used is lamb, but beef or a combination of both can also be used. The filling is seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes cinnamon or allspice for added flavor. The pasta sheets are typically made from a simple flour and water dough, and they are rolled out thinly before being filled and sealed.

Esinahkan is typically cooked in a large pot of boiling water until the pasta is tender and the filling is heated through. The dish is often served with a side of yogurt or a tomato-based sauce, such as a simple tomato and onion sauce. It is a hearty and comforting dish that is often enjoyed as a main course, especially during colder months. The combination of the tender pasta and the flavorful filling makes esinahkan a popular choice for those looking for a satisfying and delicious meal.
