What is Teksüt cottage cheese?
Teksüt lor peyniri is a fresh Turkish whey cheese: soft white curds made from the whey left over during cheesemaking. It has a mild, milky taste and a moist, slightly creamy texture. In Turkey, it is often served at breakfast with bread, tomatoes and herbs, and used as a filling for börek, savoury pastries made with thin layers of dough. The curds also take well to fresh herbs and seasoning.
With 11.5 g of protein per 100 g, lor cheese can add a substantial protein boost to a simple meal. Try it with vegetables and wholegrain bread for breakfast, or use it in a pastry filling and go easy on added oil for a lighter result.
