What is Herbed sautéed meze?
Herbed sautéed meze is a Turkish-style dish of seasonal herbs and leafy greens cooked until tender in olive oil. The exact mix varies by region and season, and home cooks often use whichever greens are available.
The leaves become soft while keeping their earthy, sometimes gently bitter flavour. It is usually served warm or at room temperature as part of a meze spread, with bread or alongside grilled dishes. The vegetables contribute fibre and micronutrients, while the oil makes the dish more satisfying. A squeeze of lemon brightens the flavour; using a measured amount of olive oil keeps the meze lighter.
