Instructions
- Place a pan of water on the hob and bring to the boil.
- Plunge your tomatoes into the water for just under 1 minute and then remove them and place in cold water.
- Now remove the skin from the tomatoes - it should peel away easily because of the boiling water.
- Cut your tomatoes in half, scoop out the seeds with a teaspoon and discard the seeds.
- Chop your tomatoes as finely as you can without them turning to pulp and add them to a large bowl.
- Now chop the onion, pepper, chillies and cucumber as finely as you can and add those to the tomatoes.
- Remove the stalks from your parsley and finely chop this before adding that to your other ingredients.
- Now add the mint, oil, vinegar, tomato puree and salt.
- Give everything a good mix and do a taste test.
- Add more chillies if necessary (Antep ezmesi is supposed to be spicy) and, if it seems too loose, add more salça (tomato puree), too.
- Place in the fridge for at least one hour before serving.
Notes
- This Turkish ezme recipe is a base for you to follow and over time, you will add more of, or use less of certain ingredients depending on your taste.
- There is no cook time in this Antep Ezmesi recipe. The boiling water is merely an aid to peeling your tomatoes. All ingredients are raw.
- We have said our ezme recipe serves 6 people. Antep ezmesi is a meze that you can just put out on the table for people to help themselves so '6 people' is just a rough guide.
- For the same reason, the calorie count is also approximate.
