Yield: 4
Cuisine: Turkey
Ingredients: 4 undefined Ripe tomatoes (Medium-sized, very ripe for best flavor and texture.

Remove seeds and membranes.); 1/2 undefined Red onion (Small to medium-sized. Finely minced to avoid overpowering the other ingredients.); 1/2 cup Fresh parsley (Packed, finely chopped. Stems can be included if very tender.); 1 tbsp Pepper paste (Biber salçası (Turkish red pepper paste). Use mild or hot depending on your spice preference. Tomato paste can be used in a pinch but will alter the flavor profile.); 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil (Good quality for best flavor.); 1 tbsp Pomegranate molasses (Adds a crucial sweet and tangy depth.); 1/2 tsp Salt (Or to taste.); 1/4 tsp Sumac (Optional, but adds a lovely lemony tang.

👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Prepare the vegetables: Wash and finely dice the tomatoes, green peppers, and red onion. Aim for a very small, uniform dice (about 0.5 cm or 1/4 inch). The finer the chop, the better the texture and melding of flavors. If using a food processor, pulse gently to avoid making a paste.
⏱️ 10 minutes
2
Chop the herbs: Finely chop the fresh parsley. Ensure it's finely minced to distribute evenly throughout the salad.
⏱️ 2 minutes
3
Combine the dressing ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the pepper paste, olive oil, pomegranate molasses, salt, sumac (if using), and lemon juice (if using). Stir until well combined.
⏱️ 2 minutes
4
Mix everything together: In a medium bowl, combine the finely diced tomatoes, peppers, onion, and chopped parsley. Pour the dressing mixture over the vegetables. Gently toss to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
⏱️ 3 minutes
5
Taste and adjust seasoning: Sample the ezme and add more salt, pepper paste, pomegranate molasses, or sumac as needed to achieve your desired balance of flavors.
⏱️ 1 minute
6
Rest and serve: For the best flavor, allow the ezme to rest for at least 10-15 minutes at room temperature, or longer in the refrigerator, before serving. This allows the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature with warm pita bread, lavash, or as a side dish to grilled meats.
⏱️ 5 minutes

💡 プロのコツ

✓The key to great ezme is a very fine dice on all the vegetables. A sharp knife and patience are your best tools.
✓Adjust the amount of pepper paste and sumac to control the level of spiciness and tanginess.
✓Ezme tastes even better after resting for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. It can be made a few hours ahead.
✓If you find the salad too watery, you can drain off some of the excess liquid before serving, or ensure your tomatoes are not overly ripe and watery.
