Acılı Ezme is a vibrant, spicy vegetable salad and dip that is ubiquitous in Turkish kebab houses and grilled meat restaurants (ocakbaşı). The name roughly translates to 'spicy mashed' dish, referring to the traditional method of preparation where vegetables are finely chopped or mashed together to create a cohesive, salsa-like texture. It acts as an appetizing starter, designed to wake up the palate before the arrival of rich, fatty meats.

A beautifully prepared spicy pepper paste, just the right amount of spiciness, with perfectly sliced peppers and tomatoes – a truly delicious spread. Served with warm bread, what more could I ask for with my raki?
