Cezerya with pistachio is a traditional Turkish sweet associated especially with Mersin and the country’s Mediterranean coast. Grated carrots are cooked down with sugar until thick and chewy, then mixed with pistachios and cut into small pieces. Some versions are rolled in coconut.
Its texture is tender yet pleasantly chewy, with the carrot’s mellow sweetness balanced by the pistachios’ toasted flavour. In Turkey it is commonly offered with tea or Turkish coffee, after a meal, or when welcoming guests; it also makes a popular gift. It is a concentrated sweet, mainly providing carbohydrates, with some fibre and a little protein. Serve a small piece alongside unsweetened tea for a less sugary-feeling treat.
