Kavurmalı Karadeniz Pidesi Recipe
There is a place that the people of Ankara know very well and that they sigh when they think of it; Zigana Pide Restaurant. A legendary pide maker who makes kavurmalı karadeniz pidesi. I haven't been going for a long time, I hope it still keeps the same flavor. Even if it doesn't, that flavor continues to live in our minds and hearts, and it will. My kavurmalı karadeniz pidesi recipe is a home-style imitation of Zigana Pide.
If I said imitation, don't underestimate it. It is not an imitation. The recipe is the same recipe. But here we don't have the ingredients from the Black Sea region and we do not have a pide oven. Apart from these, the recipe has everything possible to get the same taste. Of course, it is not necessary for all the ingredients to come from the Black Sea region for a very good Black Sea pide. Of course, you can catch the same taste with the same quality ingredients, albeit from elsewhere. But the oven will always continue to make a difference, unfortunately.
By the way, if you wish, you can also put meltable cheese in the pide together with the kavurma. If you want your pide to be completely cheesy, you can check out my karadeniz pidesi recipe.
I am preparing the kavurma of the pide according to my kavurma recipe. More precisely, sometimes when I make kavurma, I make a lot of it and freeze some of it and use it in recipes such as karadeniz pidesi or eggs with kavurma.
Kavurmalı pide and, in my opinion, all other pides should be eaten as soon as they are baked. Therefore, if you ask my personal opinion, I recommend that you should serve the pide immediately after baked. But if it's ok for you to eat pide, lahmacun or pizza cold or hard, you can also serve them later.
Enjoy the recipe...
