Ezme is a vibrant Turkish spicy tomato and pepper dip, bursting with fresh herbs and a zesty kick, perfect for pairing with warm pita bread.

Finely chop the tomatoes, red bell pepper, onion, cucumber, and parsley. The finer the chop, the better the texture of the Ezme.

Prepare the Vegetables

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, cucumber, and parsley.

Combine Ingredients

Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Add Seasoning

Taste the Ezme and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.

Taste and Adjust

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the Ezme chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld.
