What is Head soup with egg-lemon seasoning?
Head soup with egg-lemon seasoning is a traditional Turkish soup made by simmering a sheep’s head until the meat is tender, then enriching the broth with an egg-and-lemon liaison. The seasoning gives the soup a gently tart flavour and a silky body; recipes vary, and the name refers to the finished soup rather than a packaged product.
In Turkey it is commonly served piping hot at soup shops or made at home as a substantial meal, especially in colder weather. Bread is a natural accompaniment, while lemon or a little garlic vinegar may be offered at the table. It is protein-rich and satisfying; for a lighter bowl, skim some of the fat from the broth and keep the bread portion modest.
