Iskender Platter Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Rice

   Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, add the rinsed rice, 400 ml of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Doner Meat

   In a skillet, melt 30 grams of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced doner meat, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until heated through and slightly crispy. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   Prepare the Tomato Sauce

   In a small saucepan, heat the remaining butter and add the tomato sauce. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Grill the Vegetables

   Preheat a grill or grill pan. Cut the tomatoes and green bell pepper in half. Grill the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, until they are charred and tender.

   Assemble the Iskender Platter

   On a serving plate, place toasted pita bread at the base, layer with the cooked doner meat, pour the tomato sauce over the meat, and add a dollop of yogurt on top. Serve with a side of rice, grilled tomato, and pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley.
