What is Red pepper cottage cheese sauté?
Red pepper cottage cheese sauté is a simple Turkish-style dish of sweet kapya pepper cooked in a pan with lor, a mild, crumbly Turkish whey cheese. The pepper softens and turns sweeter as it cooks, while the lor warms through and breaks up into soft curds. It is best served warm, with the pepper left a little firm or cooked until tender to suit your taste.
In Turkey, it can appear at breakfast alongside bread, olives and eggs, or be served as a light meal or meze. It is protein-rich and relatively low in carbohydrates, making it a filling choice without a heavy sauce. Pair it with fresh tomatoes or greens, and use just a little oil in the pan for a lighter version.
