Yakselin

Yakselin is a traditional Turkish dish that is particularly popular in the Eastern Black Sea region, including cities like Trabzon and Rize. The dish is made from a type of flatbread known as "yufka," which is thin and crispy. The yufka is typically filled with a mixture of minced meat, onions, and sometimes other vegetables like bell peppers or tomatoes. The filling is seasoned with various spices, including black pepper, salt, and sometimes paprika or cumin. The filled yufka is then rolled up and cooked in a pan with a small amount of oil until it becomes golden brown and crispy on both sides. Yakselin is often served as a snack or appetizer and is enjoyed for its savory flavor and satisfying crunch. It is a popular street food in Turkey and is also commonly found in local markets and restaurants. The dish is a reflection of the region's culinary traditions and is a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
