A recipe from the cuisine, allowed in a / diet.

Turkish cuisine we think is one of the best in the world, spoiling us with some of the best dishes we've recently tried (like adana kebap, lahmacun, or baklava). Here we've tried something a little more traditional, that you won't find in that many Turkish restaurants. It's a delicious lamb soup, that lamb meat fans will surely enjoy.
