açarm

Açarm is a traditional Turkish dish that is often served as a side dish or a main course. The name "açarm" comes from the Turkish word "aç", which means "to open" or "to start", reflecting the dish's role as a starter or appetizer. It is typically made with a variety of ingredients, including rice, vegetables, and sometimes meat or fish.

The dish is prepared by cooking rice with a combination of vegetables such as carrots, peas, and sometimes beans or lentils. The vegetables are often finely chopped or diced to ensure they cook evenly with the rice. In some recipes, meat or fish may be added to the mixture, providing additional protein and flavor. The dish is usually seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes other spices like cumin or paprika.

Açarm is often served hot, either as a side dish to accompany main courses like kebabs or meats, or as a standalone dish. It is a popular choice for breakfast or as a light meal during the day. The dish is known for its comforting and hearty nature, making it a staple in Turkish cuisine.
