What is Pan-cooked çökelek sauté?
Pan-cooked çökelek sauté is a Turkish home-style dish made by warming çökelek—crumbly, mildly tangy fresh curd cheese—in a pan. Recipes vary by region and household; some include onion or pepper, and the finished dish is soft and moist rather than crisp.
It is usually served hot, with bread, as a simple breakfast or an easy meal. For English-speaking readers unfamiliar with çökelek, its fresh, gently sour flavour is quite different from that of a firm aged cheese. The dish is protein-rich and low in carbohydrates; use a little oil and serve it with tomatoes or greens for a lighter, balanced plate.
