What is Kilis rava?

Kilis rava is a traditional dish from Kilis in southeastern Turkey, made with bulgur, meat and spices. The bulgur gives it a substantial, slightly grainy texture, while the meat and seasoning provide its savoury character; recipes can vary in their choice and balance of spices.

It is generally enjoyed warm as part of a main meal. In Turkey, it can be served with fresh salad or greens and ayran, a cool yoghurt drink; outside the region, those same sides make an easy accompaniment. Filling and balanced between grains and meat, it works well as a meal on its own, or you can add extra salad for a lighter plate.
