Acılı Ezme is een levendige, pittige groentesalade en dip die alomtegenwoordig is in Turkse kebabhuizen en grillrestaurants (ocakbaşı). De naam vertaalt zich ruwweg naar 'pittig gestampt' gerecht, verwijzend naar de traditionele bereidingswijze waarbij groenten fijn worden gehakt of samen worden gestampt om een samenhangende textuur te creëren. Het fungeert als een smakelijk voorgerecht, ontworpen om het gehemelte wakker te maken voor de komst van rijk, vet vlees.

De basisingrediënten van Acılı Ezme zijn rijpe tomaten, groene pepers, uien, knoflook en peterselie. Het geheim van de diepte ligt echter in de dressing en smaakmakers. Een mengsel van peperpuree (biber salçası), granaatappelmelasse (nar ekşisi), olijfolie, hete rode pepervlokken (pul biber), sumak en gedroogde munt wordt in de groenten gemasseerd.

Voorbereiding vereist geduld en vaardigheid met een mes; het gebruik van een keukenmachine wordt vaak afgekeurd omdat het de groenten in een waterige brij kan veranderen. Het resultaat is een gerecht dat elke smaaknoot raakt: zoet, zuur, hartig en onmiskenbaar pittig.

Koud geserveerd, wordt Acılı Ezme meestal gegeten met warm, gezwollen lavashbrood of pita. Het is niet zomaar een smaakmaker, maar een zelfstandige meze.

Ackee en zoutvis is het nationale gerecht van Jamaica, dat bestaat uit een ongewone vrucht van West-Afrikaanse oorsprong en alle soorten gedroogde en gezouten vis, meestal kabeljauw, mahi mahi of makreel. Het gerecht is erg populair als voedzaam Jamaicaans ontbijt of als voorgerecht dat wordt geserveerd voor de lunch of het diner. Ackee is een lastig ingrediënt vanwege de giftigheid ervan, dus het is niet veilig om het te consumeren totdat het felgele vlees en de karakteristieke zwarte zaden (drie stuks) zichtbaar zijn aan de binnenkant van de vrucht. Het werd in de 18e eeuw op het eiland geïntroduceerd en ziet eruit als een gladde, roodachtige perzik. Ackee is het lekkerst als het volledig rijp, olieachtig en zoet is, en als het gekookt is, lijkt het visueel op roerei. Zoutvis wordt gebakken met gekookte ackee, uien, hete pepers, tomaten en veel zwarte peper, wat zorgt voor een contrast van grote, gedurfde smaken, kleuren en texturen, zoetheid en zoutheid. In sommige gevallen wordt het gerecht ook geserveerd met rijst en gekookte bakbananen, en het wordt vaak gegarneerd met spek of verse tomaten. Het lijkt erop dat alles mogelijk is in Jamaica, zelfs fruit gecombineerd met vis voor het ontbijt.

Aguachile is a simple dish originating from the Mexican state of Sinaloa. It is a type of Mexican ceviche that (in its most classic version) consists of fresh raw shrimp, cucumber, red onion, lime juice, and water-pulverized chilis, giving the dish its name. Unlike most ceviches, aguachile is served immediately after coating the shrimp in lime juice, so it is very important that the shrimp is as fresh as it can be. Aguachile is commonly accompanied by avocado and tostadas, while the beverage of choice is usually beer or tequila. There are also versions of aguachile prepared with octopus and scallops, but those versions are not traditional.

Alb&oacute;ndigas en salsa is a traditional dish that's typically eaten as a tapa. This appetizer consists of meatballs in rich tomato sauce. The small meatballs are often made with a combination of beef, pork, veal (or a combination of the three), breadcrumbs, parsley, eggs, garlic, flour, and seasonings, while the sauce is made with garlic, onions, tomatoes, red wine, olive oil, paprika, salt, and stock.

It is believed that these meatballs originated as a Berber or Arab dish which was brought over to Spain during the Muslim rule. The name is derived from the Arabic word al-bunduq, meaning hazelnut, referring to the small size of the meatballs.

Alcauciles fritos is a traditional dish originating from the C&aacute;diz region. It consists of fried baby artichokes. The ingredients include small artichokes, sea salt, lemon juice, and oil that&rsquo;s used for frying. The artichokes are sprinkled with sea salt and lemon juice, then fried in oil over high heat. Once the leaves become crisp and brown and the stalks and hearts become tender, the artichokes are removed from the pan, drained, and served, usually with lemon wedges on the side. It&rsquo;s recommended to pair this simple dish with a glass of dry white wine of Sanl&uacute;car. These small artichokes are available in Andalusian markets in early summer, and they're a special variety grown for deep-frying because the high heat caramelizes the juices and keeps the flavor intact.
