What is Mixed İzmir Kumru Sandwich?
A mixed İzmir kumru sandwich is a local speciality from İzmir, made with a sesame-topped kumru roll filled with sucuk, salami, sausage and kaşar, a Turkish semi-hard cheese. The sandwich is usually toasted until the bread is crisp at the edges and the cheese softens. Its savoury, spiced filling makes it a substantial street-food meal rather than a light snack.
In İzmir it is commonly eaten hot from a kumru shop, often with pickles or a cold drink. Elsewhere, it works as a filling lunch; the bread and meats make it relatively energy-dense, while the cheese and meats add protein. Pair it with salad, or choose a smaller portion if you want a lighter meal.
