What is Ricotta-style curd cheese and greens filling?
Ricotta-style curd cheese and greens filling is a savoury mixture of Turkish lor, a fresh curd cheese, with finely chopped greens. The herbs can vary by cook; parsley and dill are common choices. It is a home-style filling rather than a single fixed recipe.
Its soft, slightly crumbly texture and fresh, gently salty flavour work well in börek, gözleme and other savoury pastries. You can also spread it on bread for breakfast or serve it as a simple side. It contributes protein and calcium, while remaining lighter than many richer cheese fillings. For a lighter version, keep added oil to a minimum and let the greens provide freshness.
