4 Delicious Recipes to Go
•Potato Salad with Red Cabbage
6 small potatoes
½ cup water
100 ml Olive oil,
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sweet cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon red flake paper
1 teaspoon black pepper
6 sprigs of spring onions, chopped
1/3 medium red cabbage, sliced
• Cut potatoes in big chunks. If you have a pressure cooker place them in with cold water and a pinch of salt. Close the lid and let them boil for 10 minutes until fork tender (If you don’t have a pressure cooker you can use a regular pot.).
• While potatoes are cooking, prepare greens. Start with spring onions, the white part should be chopped thinner, the green parts could be thicker.
If you’ll eat this salad on the same day you prepared rub red cabbage with some salt, but if you’ll eat it for more than one or two days you can skip rubbing step.
• For dressing, in a large bowl, mix olive oil, mustard, salt black pepper, cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes.
• When the potatoes are done, take the first heat off and then mix them with the sauce while they are still hot so potatoes can soak the sauce better.
• Add the purple cabbage and the greens. Give it one last mix and it’s ready to serve. It is delicious by itself, but you can enjoy it as a side dish with schnitzel or köfte etc..
•Fava
Dried broad beans; 500 gr
Onions; 2 small, cut in half lengthways
Olive oil 1/3 cups-80 ml
Salt; 1-heaped teaspoon
Sugar; 1 teaspoon
Drinking water; 1.4 litres
To garnish
Dill; 4 sprigs, finely chopped
Crispy onion- if you have at home
Fresh olive oil
• Place broad beans, onions, salt and water in the pressure cooker.
• Close the lid and cook until the pressure gets high for 10 minutes. If you don’t have a pressure cooker, the water you pour in the pot should be 3 fingers above the beans. You’ll need to cook them for about 30-35 minutes until they soften.
• Then add olive oil and sugar. Use a hand blender to make it silky smooth.
• Get a big tray or anything that you want your fava to take the shape of, put some olive oil and pour the mixture.
• First, allow it to cool at room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours. Now it’s ready to turn!
• Put some olive oil, crunchy onions and dill on top and serve.
•Kısır with Pomegranate
Fine bulghur, 2 cups
Pomegranate juice, 2 teaspoons
Pepper puree, 1 tablespoon
Tomato puree, 1 tablespoon
Olive oil , 10 tablespoons
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses/sour
Black pepper, 1 teaspoon
Salt, 2 teaspoons
Cumin, 1 teaspoon
Spring onions, 8 springs chopped
Fresh mint, ½ bunch chopped
Parsley, 1 bunch chopped
Pomegranate seeds, 3 handfuls
• Put fine bulgur, warm water and salt in a bowl, close a lid until the bulgur grows bigger.
• Pour pomegranate water into bulghur.
• In another bowl mix tomato paste, pepper paste, olive oil, pomegranate molasses, salt, black pepper and cumin.
• Put the sauce into the bulghur and knead.
• Add chopped greens, pomegranate seeds into the sauced bulghur and mix them very well.
Serving tip: You can wrap the kısır with lettuce leaves or you can carve the pomegranate and use it as a plate.
•Kuru Köfte, Dry Meatballs

Ground beef, 500 g
Onion, 1 grated
Garlic, 2 cloves grated
Cumin, 1 heaping teaspoon
Black pepper, 1 teaspoon
1 egg

Bread, 3 slices or 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
Salt, 1 teaspoon
Parsley, ½ bunch
For sauce;
Yoghurt, 8 tablespoons
Tahini, 3 tablespoons
Lemon juice, 4-5 drops
Black pepper
Salt
• Put onion and garlic cloves into the ground beef and knead so well.
• Take out a half of the bread, put it in a food processor, add some water and run it until it crumbles, then add it to the ground meat.
• Add cumin, meatball spice mixture, black pepper, egg and salt to the ground beef and knead more.
• Finely chop parsley. After the spices you add on the minced meat are mixed well, you can add the parsley into it.
• After thoroughly kneading, fry the meatballs that you have formed into long finger shapes by putting sunflower oil in a wide and deep pan.
• For sauce, mix all ingredients in a bowl.

Hi, refika, can you please share some recipes for suhoor and iftar healthy and easy ones that don't take ages
You Refika are the best. I’m salivating just watching the potato salad. How can i go one watching the entire video? Cannot wait to cook some of these recipes. I’m coming to Istanbul this year, for sure. I need to taste more Turkish food made there.
Thank you Refika 💕 LOVE LOVE LOVE !!!! 🇺🇸
Yummy.. Thank you Refika.🤗🙏
❤
It is hard to express how much we love you!
Thank you very much Refika for your recipes which are so delicious. They are also colorful and healthy. I will try them. I often talk about them with my Turkish friends in Colmar. Take care of yourself and your family. Elvire from Colmar (France).❤
WOW! THANK YOU I WILL TRY THESE, ALWAYS WATCHING FROM PHILIPPINES!
Thank you all. My prayers are with all you and Turkey during these troubled times.
Love how you explain the "why's" of something.
We should be careful on money useage,if you are not spending to earn back,then stop spending.
The hamam your potatoes came out of …😂 😂😂
I wouldn’t mind jumping into that mixture of spices and oil either. Looks good.
Thanks to you I’ll always remember making potato salad this way. And thank you for giving me a another reason to add purple cabbage. ❤
Everything looks soooo good … Wonderful video .. many thanks to you all xxxx
Yum, yum, yum! Thank you for taking the time as you work to bring relief to your brothers and sisters. Sending all of you so much love.
Thank you for these recipes! Definitely going to try the fava first. Looks delicious.
Love ❤️ learning your recipes mmmm… looks delicious thank you for the amazing work you and the crew are doing to help others I pray for better times for all
I have to pause the video at fava to tell you this: if I can make something to substitute for avocado, I will be SO happy! I love avocados but they are quite expensive here and when I do treat myself and buy one, it often turns out to be bad and must be thrown away. So THANK YOU for the hope that fava will be a substitute!! Now back to your video 🙂
Does refika has a restaurant in Istanbul? I would Like to Eat her Food when i go there 😍
Refika, what is pommegranat water? Do you use fresh or canned fruit? The pommegranat I buy here in sweden is dry and that’s why I ask about the water.
A bosnian woman whom I also follow filmed volunteering and cooking for victims of the earthquake which you initiated. Thanks for that and all best Refika you are so wonderful person ❤
