Frequently Asked Questions About Sul
What is Sul, and how is it traditionally cooked?
Sul is a traditional Turkish boiled lamb or beef dish. The meat is simmered in water until cooked; the exact seasoning and serving style can vary between household recipes.
Is Sul a soup or a meat dish?
Sul is primarily a boiled-meat dish, rather than a soup made mostly of vegetables or grains. Its cooking liquid can be served alongside the meat or included in a more brothy presentation.
What is the difference between Sul and Turkish et haşlama?
Both Sul and et haşlama involve cooking meat in water, so their methods can be similar. Names and recipes vary by region and household, though, and the terms are not necessarily interchangeable everywhere.
Can you make Sul with either lamb or beef?
Yes. Sul can be prepared with lamb or beef; lamb tends to give the dish a more pronounced flavor, while beef has a milder taste. The cut and cooking time affect the final texture.
Which cut of meat works best for Sul?
Cuts suitable for slow boiling, including bone-in or connective-tissue-rich pieces, can become tender in Sul. Ask a butcher for a cut intended for stewing or boiling; very lean meat can dry out if overcooked.
How do you keep Sul broth clear?
For clearer Sul broth, bring the pot to a gentle simmer and skim off the foam that rises at the beginning. A rolling boil can break up particles and make the cooking liquid look cloudy.
What is usually served with Sul?
Sul goes well with rice, bread, or a simple salad. You can also serve yogurt or pickles alongside it, and offer the cooking liquid separately so diners can choose how much broth they want.
Can you make Sul ahead of time?
Yes, Sul can be cooked ahead and stored with its cooking liquid. Keeping the meat submerged helps it stay moist; reheat it gently in the liquid until the whole portion is hot.
Can you freeze leftover Sul?
Yes, Sul can be frozen in an airtight container with some of its cooking liquid. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat it gently; the meat may be a little softer after freezing.
Why does meat in Sul turn out tough?
Meat in Sul may be tough because it has not cooked long enough for its connective tissue to soften. Keep it at a gentle simmer and continue cooking until it separates easily with a fork.

What is Sul?
Sul is a traditional Turkish dish of lamb or beef simmered in water until tender. The straightforward preparation lets the flavour of the meat take centre stage, and it is often made as a hearty home-cooked meal.
Served hot, the meat is soft and easy to pull apart, while the cooking liquid has a gentle savoury flavour. It can be eaten with bread or rice, with the broth served alongside or spooned over the meat. Sul is a protein-rich choice with no carbohydrates; a 100 g portion provides 19 g of protein. For a lighter plate, choose lean meat and pair it with seasonal vegetables.
