Roasted red pepper with curd cheese brings together sweet, smoky peppers—roasted until tender and peeled—with lor, a fresh Turkish whey cheese. It is an easy home-style dish that can sit somewhere between a spread and a simple meze; the mild, soft cheese balances the pepper’s deeper roasted flavour.
In Turkey, it may be served at breakfast with bread, alongside tea, or as part of a meze spread. A little olive oil, herbs or walnuts make natural additions, and it also pairs well with fresh vegetables. The combination offers a good amount of protein, while the red pepper contributes vitamin C. For a lighter version, use just a drizzle of oil and let the roasted pepper make up more of the mixture.
