Tender Meats: Alinazik

Tender Meats: Alinazik

Let's start the Alinazik recipe by telling the story of the dish, which is as delicious as the dish itself. Everything starts with Yavuz Sultan Selim's journey to Gaziantep in the 16th century. The people who heard the news of this journey embarked on a arduous preparation. Various kinds of dishes and desserts are cooked and made for the sultan. When he comes to Gaziantep, a table worthy of his taste is set. There is nothing on the table. But there is such a taste among them that blends the taste of yoghurt, eggplant and meat. It stands out from the rest immediately. Yavuz Sultan Selim, who tasted this delicacy, said, 'Which hand did this kindly?' says. Since then, the name of the dish has changed first to 'Ala Nazik' and then to 'Alinazik'. In Arabic, 'ala' means beautiful and 'gentle' means food.

You should eat this dish, whose name and story are as beautiful as itself, in the best place in Antep, from their hands. But there is another way for those who do not have the chance to go. Moreover, it is very practical. Roll up your sleeves for this amazing visual feast. In this recipe, we chopped the cubed meat into small pieces.
