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.

As second starter we tried Acili ezme. I was expecting a classic with tomatoes, peppers, onions and sumak. Which was the case but there was a big mistake… They did put hot chilli sauce in it, and it killed all the taste. They could have keep it simple.
