Composition

Slow-cooked beef rib, freekeh bulgur rice, beef jus

On the palate

With the first bite, you’ll savour the tender, juicy flavour of slow-cooked beef ribs, perfectly seasoned to bring out their rich, deep taste. The creamy texture of Freekeh adds a subtle sweetness, balancing the savoury meat, while a few fresh mâche leaves offer a light, refreshing note that ties the dish together beautifully.

What makes it special?

This traditional Turkish dish uses beef ribs sourced from the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, particularly Erzurum, Kars, Ağrı, and Ardahan. Cattle from these highland areas graze naturally on mountain pastures, resulting in richer, more aromatic meat.

Best paired with

The dish pairs beautifully with freekeh. The addition of Kaymak will create a wonderful texture and flavour balance.
