What is Boyabat spread?

Boyabat spread is a savoury regional preparation associated with Boyabat, in Sinop province in northern Turkey. Pepper and walnuts give it its defining character; local recipes bring them together with oil and seasonings, and the texture can range from fairly coarse to smooth.

Its peppery flavour, rounded by the walnuts, makes it easy to serve on bread or alongside fresh vegetables. In Turkey it may appear at breakfast or as part of a meze spread; elsewhere, it works well as a dip or a small appetiser with crackers and sliced vegetables. Walnuts and oil make it rich in fat and energy, while the peppers contribute some fibre. A little goes a long way, so serve a modest amount with plenty of vegetables for a lighter snack.
