This traditional Turkish dish combines coarsely-ground cornmeal and (oftentimes) aged local cheeses such as trabzon or kashar. Grated cheese is mixed into piping hot cornmeal until it turns stringy, and the dish is then typically enriched with butter or kaymak&mdash;Turkish clotted cream. Kuymak is typical of the area surrounding the Black Sea, where it is mainly enjoyed for breakfast. It always needs to be served warm and freshly prepared.

Kuymak with Black Truffle

A modern take that doesn’t quite hit the mark for fans of the traditional. While it’s enjoyable when hot, it lacks the rich, buttery depth of real Black Sea kuymak. The truffle concept is interesting, but the portion was too small to elevate the dish. A pinch of salt would have helped bring out the flavors. Worth trying once for curiosity, but it won’t replace the original.
