Missing recipe from Holliday
Hi guys!
Me and my family went to Türkiye over Xmas last year, specifically Çesme. On our last day, we went to a pretty nice restaurant and they served some dip/ spread and bread, and one of the dips was the best thing I’ve ever had, but I don’t know what was in it, I was too shy to ask, and the lighting was too bad to take a picture, but me and my parents tried to figure out the ingredients, here’s our list:
Carrot
Dill
Garlic
Almond (roasted)
Celery
Walnut
The consistency was very soft and it tasted almost sweet, the carrots weren’t chunks but they were grated, and there were some small pieces of something else, not sure what but my mum thinks they were almonds. My dad is convinced the base was lapneh, but idk if he’s right with that one. I assume the celery was roasted as well because it was quite soft also.
the dip wasnt on the menu either, it was more like a buffet situation, and that didn’t have any names either.
I usually am a really picky eater, so having something I like is soooo rare and as you can probably tell because I’m posting this in may and I had the dip in late December, I couldn’t stop thinking about that dip…
Do any of you guys have an idea what it could be or maybe even a recipe? My dad tried with our ingredient list and it was not close but I can’t pinpoint why. it could also be something the chef just thought of and I’m never gonna find it, but it can’t hurt to ask here :)
