What is Konya wedding pilaf?
Konya wedding pilaf is a celebratory rice dish associated with wedding feasts in Konya, central Türkiye. Rice is cooked with chickpeas and lamb, often using the meat’s cooking liquid and butter for a rich, savoury finish. It is traditionally made in large batches for guests, though home cooks also prepare it for special gatherings.
The rice should be tender yet distinct, with hearty pieces of lamb and chickpeas throughout. Serve it as a substantial main course, perhaps with a crisp salad or a cooling yoghurt side. Rice supplies most of the carbohydrates, while lamb and chickpeas contribute protein. For a lighter plate, use a little less butter and balance the pilaf with vegetables.
