Electric Pressure Cooker Stuffed Zucchini

Electric Pressure Cooker Stuffed Zucchini If you liked my Kabak Dolmasi Stuffed Zucchini recipe, you are going to love my Electric Pressure Cooker Stuffed Zucchini recipe. Of course, the original recipe is great but this one is even better because you can prep it and forget it. Since I was using the electric pressure cooker pan, I used a potato to wedge the stuffed zucchini in place. While potato is not traditionally part of this dish, it sure made...

Easy Manti

Easy Manti If you have ever made my Homemade Kayserili Manti recipe, you know it takes a long time and lots of hands to make.

Köfte Sliders

Köfte Sliders Since my Homemade Burger Bun recipe turned out so great, I thought I would bake some of the dough into slider buns to change-up my Köfte routine. Normally, I just grill my Köfte and they are great like that with a little salad. These Köfte Sliders are so tasty and if you have small kids, they will love them. They are the perfect size for little hands. Try them out and let me know what you think. Afiyet olsun!...

Electric Pressure Cooker Beef Stroganoff

Electric Pressure Cooker Beef Stroganoff My daughter really likes Beef Stroganoff. In my opinion, the dish is a little plain. However, after cooking it in my electric pressure cooker and getting that deep cooked all day flavor, I am now a fan as well. Since I had cooked so many things in my new cooker, I figured why not give this a go. With this in mind, I adapted my regular recipe into Electric Pressure Cooker Beef Stroganoff. While...

Kabak Dolmasi Stuffed Zucchini

Kabak Dolmasi Stuffed Zucchini I bought some gorgeous zucchini and tomatoes yesterday at the Rainbow City Farmers Market. They were both perfect for my Kabak Dolmasi Stuffed Zucchini. The zucchini were bright green, gorgeous and straight. It is important that the zucchini are uniform and straight. This helps with even cooking. I cooked the excess zucchini in the pan with the stuffed ones to give more flavor to the broth but you could always reserve them for another dish like Mücver...

Meatball Cannellini Bean Ragout

Meatball Cannellini Bean Ragout This year my sister and I decided that we were not going to cook the traditional Easter meal that we always cook. It is a tradition that we love but this year, we just needed a break. So the three of us (sister, daughter and myself) went to Classics on Noble for Brunch and it was really nice. Since I knew we would be having a big brunch today, I wanted to make something light for dinner....

Manti Inspired Fresh Made Spaghetti and Meatballs

Manti Inspired Fresh Made Spaghetti and Meatballs First and foremost, let me say this is not Manti!!!! Manti is a delicious Turkish dish that is best made when you have plenty of helping hands around. It could be done alone but part of the fun of making Manti is spending the time stuffing the dough with the meat mixture while you chit-chat with your family and/or friends! The best Manti in Turkey is from the Kayseri region. My former...

Karniyarik

Karniyarik Karniyarik is a Turkish dish that literally means slashed belly. The dish gets the name because the eggplant looks like a belly shape and then you cut it down the middle to stuff it. It is one of my favorite eggplant dishes. Karniyarik is delicious served with some rice and yogurt on the side. Of course, you all know me by now, I would make that garlic yogurt instead. Wow, just looking at that bite of Karniyarik, makes...

Who loves Meatloaf? Not the school lunchroom kind but the yummy, meaty, full of flavor kind! I know I do and I had been thinking about how good it would be for dinner for several days. Well, last night I decided to go ahead and make one. Boy was it goooooodddd. I served it with mashed potatoes and a green salad. Nothing is better than some good old comfort food but for the record, it was even better today as a...
