Acılı ezme

Acılı ezme is a flavorful Turkish dish that is traditionally served as a meze, especially in places that serve kebabs. It consists of tomatoes, onions, chili peppers, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, olive oil, sumac, and a bit of dried mint. The vegetables are always hand chopped and never blended because the concoction becomes too juicy. It is recommended to serve acılı ezme with lavash flatbread and ayran on the side.
