Crispy and Delicious Turkish Delight, Unforgettable Kadayif Manti Recipe
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
First off, we wanna start by explaining why is it that we did not release this Halloween Special last week. As some of you might have heard, there has been a devastating earthquake in the city of Izmir last week. As a result, we did not think that it would be appropriate to release a video in the wake of such a horrible event, so we decided to hold onto it and thought that appropriating the income from this month's videos to earthquake release funds and raising awareness to such horrible acts of nature would be something we could do to help ease the pain of many families that have suffered from it. Our only wish is that you share today's video with as many people as you can so that you too have a contribution to helping the city of Izmir.
Today we have a spooky recipe that be nicely served as a main dish in a dinner with hors d’oeuvres and it is one of our favorite inventions. I can proudly tell you that virtually everyone asked for a second serving after the first one!
So what's the story behind this spooky special. Well, when I was a kid, I did not like manti, same way I did not like many other dishes. Once in a while, when my grandmother came over, we would all gather at my uncle’s, and “hard-to-make” dishes would be cooked. These “hard-to-make dishes” included meals like meatball soup and manti. On a manti day, a coin would be stuffed in one of the mantis and whoever stumbled upon it during the meal, no matter their age, would get the money put on the table by the elders of the family. This was one of the Anatolia traditions, which prepared the children for life. Indeed, one had to know how to lose as well as how to win, even as a child. And if there were any privileges conceded due to someone’s age, it would be done with subtlety.
I remember it pretty well. I was on my mother’s lap, and I was turning my clove from one side to the other with precise 180 degree angles, saying “I’m not gonna eat it” with no regard to that bag of bones body of mine. And my mother, telling me “Eat just this spoonful for my sake,” thrusted a spoonful of manti into my mouth. As I just started to chew, a metallic sound came out. Apparently, I had found the lucky coin. My mother still says that she did not do it on purpose; nevertheless, it was the moment I really tasted manti and said to myself “um, it’s not bad at all.” Then, I fell in love with the Turkish cuisine with each passing day, and our tradition of manti days always held a special place in my heart.
I hope you too like this dish, which is among my favorite recipes. Moreover, this is a proof that the magnificent kadayif - usually an ingredient for desserts - can well be used in dishes which are not sweet. It makes me happy to see and hear about kadayif wrapped around prawns or cheese-filled fried kadayif.
Now, the recipe…

To garnish: Cumin Sumac Fresh thyme leaves Fresh mint leaves • Combine the ground beef, cumin, nutmeg, allspice, parsley, and the olive oil. Add salt &black pepper to taste and knead it well to meatball consistency. • Squeeze the mixture to the size of a hazelnut, then, wrap a long kadayif piece around it, covering every part (each kadayif ball should have a diameter of 2 cm). While doing this, have a plate of olive oil or, if you prefer, melted butter. Oil your palm with this, so that when you are making the small kadayif balls, the kadayif will automatically be oiled (and still be a very light meal). • For a quicker way to make the manti, place the kadayif strings (or phyllo pastry) on your counter as a layer. Sprinkle some salt to kadayif at this stage. Put the meat mixture like a sausage and wrap the kadayif around it. Cut the excess kadayif and slice it to walnut sized bites (around 2 cm). • Oil an oven tray and your hand. Round the kadayif balls using your palm and align them on the tray. You can add a chickpea to one of the balls at this stage for a surprise. Set your oven to 230 C (445 F) on grill mode without fan. Position your rack at the top shelf of your oven (or second if it is browning too fast). Your meal will be cooked in 8-10 minutes. Flip the kadayif balls after 4-5 minutes to make sure that they are browned all over. • To make the yogurt sauce, scramble the yogurt till it reaches the consistency of cream; then, add the garlic, salt and black pepper. Give it a mix and let it sit at room temperature. • To make the sauce, add the olive oil and butter in a small saucepan on medium heat. Add the pepper paste, tomato puree, red pepper flakes, thyme, salt and black pepper. Stir it till the ingredients boil and mingle with each other. Then, take the saucepan off the heat. • The mushrooms and stir again. Then, spread the mushrooms. • Now, put the kadayif manti on a plate and add the yoghurt and the sauce on top. To garnish, sprinkle some cumin, sumac, thyme, and mint. Enjoy!

I think you might like this channel, reminds me of yours a little bit in that she also gives a lot of tips i.e. is a teacher. I've learnt a lot technically from her channel. The latest recipe got me thinking about using your kebab techniques and Turkish spices for the filling. kzread.info/dash/bejne/o3ZrybKIl9CyksY.html

A lovely tribute to the people of Izmir and the Greek islands 💔. I also have to say I am really enjoying your videos in English. I used to watch the Turkish videos and try and guess what you are saying. Now it's clear you have not only good food, but a beautiful connection with the philosophy and history of the food you are making. Thoughtful and tasty!

My heart goes out to you and your beloved country. I will pray for all.
The earthquake in İzmir and Greece is heartbreaking. Wishing everyone well. The recipe looks very tasty. Yeni mutfak hayırlı ve bereketli olsun. 🧿 I live in western Canada and you can find packaged kadayıf in Middle Eastern or Greek food markets in the frozen food section. They are usually next to the frozen filo pastry and yufka. Packaged kadayıf works well to make kadayıf but since the product is usually frozen first, it ends up being more dry than the fresh version.
It's so good to see you, I honestly was worried about you and was praying for you, your family and the people of Turkey and Greece. I live in Costa Rica, so we get earthquakes frequently and just this past week, were getting extremely heavy rain from Hurricane Eta as it was on its way to Nicaragua and heading north. I love your videos and would love to make more of your recipes, but unfortunately it's very difficult to find many of the ingredients. I love your country, the history, people and cuisine. I was fortunate enough to visit there in the 1990's. All the best to you and your team and may God continue to bless you.

@Mahima Bhat i dont think Indian has simikarities because they use heavy heavy masalas coriander and chilis alot.and most Turkish diah hardly use oily fried things the oik consuled is olive oil as this is a meditteranenan and middle eastern common thing use as well olives. Sumac again is middle eastern and you probbalt wont dins rhat us a dish in Indian.You surely wont find knafeh in Indian as a popular diah unless its international reataurant serving like Syrian restaurant.The cooking styles are different.i know many of the dishes more so Turkish than India so i disagreee. India Pakistani Bengal maybe Afghanistan have more similar spices used as well as cooking styles. However Afghanistan ,Causcas and Balkan as well as Uzbekistan and Turkey share dishes.

Condolences. We had a hurricane here in Honduras so I know what you mean. Be safe and well. Peaceable love
My heart is broken for beautiful Izmir. All this tragedy on top of Covid and the subsequent fallout is absolutely dreadful. 2020 is probably the most challenging year I can remember. My thoughts, feelings and prayers go out to everybody involved in the melancholy work of going through the rubble of the buildings; I hope that their efforts are doubly blessed. Thank you so much for another one of your vibrantly beautiful productions. The thoughts, colours and even the intoxicating aromas fill my mind and my imagination while I watch, and my love for Middle-Eastern food becomes even greater. Thank you for being you!
Thank you from a Greek friend. looks delicious 🙏🙏🙏

This recipe is a great idea-gorgeous twist on traditional mantle! As for buying kadayif, I live in Liverpool, UK, and I buy my kadayif from the big international market on Lodge Lane. But I just looked, and all the online Turkish and Greek shops have it for sale.
all prayers for you guys, so sorry for the victims in there, we need to stick together in these challenging times, God bless you!
Love and prayers to you and the people of Izmir ❤❤❤❤🙏❤❤
Refika... we all love your country's beautiful culture and cuisine. We support Turkey in such hard times!
Omg, Refika, I had no idea. I'm so sorry! I will pray for you and everyone affected. Love you guys! 💕💕. Thank you for sharing with us your gifts and your love. Bless you!

God bless you and all of your team! Refika, I love all of your souls, love and empathy for this whole world. Your recipes make me healthy and happy and your hearts give me faith in this world. I will be donating to the Red Cross for the efforts to support the people in this terrible time. God love you and your team and god bless us all!
I didn’t know that Turkish food was so good!
Prayers to all in Turkey and Greece, especially those who lost loved ones and/or homes.
God bless you all! Lots of prayers to the families whom are suffering.
Sending the people of Turkey & Greece love & prayers. That looks really yummy will try the veg version. Made pickles according to your recipe . 👌
May their souls rest in peace
You are definitely the best ambassador for Turkish cuisine and culture on the internet. Thanks for your heartwarming message at the beginning of the video. Turkish cuisine is unique and ancient, it does not need to be compared with any others because you did many of the dishes before anyone else. Thanks for bringing joy to our lives in these difficult times. Congrats to your production team for their excellence.
Blessings to Turkey.
Thank you so much for your videos! I have learned so much. Please accept my prayers for the people of Turkey, Izmir, and Greece as well. God help us all.
