Turkish food

Some Turkish food I've been attempting to cook:



I used meat in the sarma but they ended up tasting like meatballs. Next time, vegetarian. And, it looks like a 5 year old rolled them up, but I just need practice.



I also tried to make red lentil and bulgur kofte but again, not so great. Next time, no lentils I think.



Now this turned out well. Green beans in onions, tomatoes, and garlic. It can be served warm or cold. A little little bit of sugar makes a difference too.



Fried spinach in garlicy yogurt. I didn't like it much but the others (Sinan and his roommates) did.



I've attempted this before. I just can't get the proportions right in the sauce - oil, some sort of sesame sauce I think, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and garlic. You pour it over cooked white beans and add hardboiled egg and tomato and parsley.

I'll add more later, I'm going for a run now. I'm thinking I want to run a 1/2 marathon in March, but we'll see how the first 3 weeks of training goes. I've only accomplished 1.5 miles! Take care!
