Unleash your culinary creativity with Turkish Hazelnuts
HAZELNUT TACOS
Serves 4
Dip Sauce:
1 cup drained yoghurt
½ cup hazelnuts, roasted and coarsely chopped
1 cup hazelnut oil or olive oil
Dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup yoghurt, whisked
½ cup fetta cheese, grated
½ cup Turkish hazelnuts, roasted and chopped
2 teaspoons red pepper paste
1 teaspoon Turkish red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon dill, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Salt
½ cup hazelnut or olive oil
Step 1: Combine drained yoghurt and Turkish Hazelnuts in a mixing bowl.
Step 2: Gradually add hazelnut oil to yoghurt mixture, beating constantly until well blended. Season with salt and refrigerate.
Step 3: Sieve flour into a working bowl. Create a well in the center and add yoghurt, feta cheese, hazelnuts, red pepper paste, red pepper flakes, dill, garlic, and salt.
Step 4: Knead mixture until it forms a medium-stiff dough. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 20 minutes.
Step 5: Divide dough into egg-sized pieces. Roll out each piece on a lightly floured surface to 8-10 cm diameter rounds. Cut each round into 4 equal, smaller pieces.
Step 6: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Drizzle with hazelnut oil and fry dough pieces, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels.
Step 7: Arrange fried tacos around a serving tray. Place dip sauce in the center.
Serve warm and fresh!
