What is Kelle Söğüş and Pilav?
Kelle Söğüş and Pilav brings together thinly cut meat from a boiled sheep’s head and Turkish rice pilaf. Kelle söğüş is a traditional Turkish specialty, especially associated with street-food culture; the meat can include tender cheek and tongue, with a pleasantly varied texture. Here it is served alongside pilaf rather than only in the bread wrap often found at söğüş counters.
It is typically enjoyed warm or at room temperature, with herbs, onion and spices, while the rice makes it a filling main meal. The meat contributes protein, and the white-rice pilaf supplies most of the carbohydrate; a 100 g portion has 11.5 g protein. Add a crisp salad or pickles for contrast, or serve a smaller scoop of pilaf if you prefer a lighter plate.
