Turkish Meze Or Appetizer “Acuka / Muhammara”
Report
Acuka or Muhammara is one of the well-known mezes or appetizers in Turkish cuisine. It has simple ingredients but with the mix of spices and deep tastes from pastes, it is packed with flavor. We traditionally eat in breakfast as a spread but it is also good as an appetizer.
