What is Atom fried hot peppers?

Atom fried hot peppers are a Turkish meze made by frying hot peppers in oil. The variety of pepper shapes the heat; frying softens the flesh and brings out a savoury, sometimes lightly crisp edge. The name is also associated with a Turkish meze of fried dried peppers served over strained yogurt, though this version centres on the peppers themselves.

In Turkey, they’re typically served in small portions alongside other meze, with bread for scooping, or as a punchy side to a shared meal. They bring plenty of flavour, but the oil makes them richer than fresh peppers. Pair them with plain yogurt, salad or other cooling dishes, and keep the portion modest if you want a lighter plate.
