Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Cheeses

Slice the Beyaz Peynir, Kashkaval, Tulum, and Çökelek cheeses into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a serving platter.

2

Toast the Hazelnuts

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before adding to the platter.

3

Prepare the Dried Fruits

Chop the dried apricots and figs into smaller pieces if desired and add them to the platter.

4

Make the Olive Mix

If marinated olives are not pre-prepared, combine the olives with olive oil, herbs, and spices of your choice for flavor.

5

Serve the Dips

Place the roasted red pepper dip and rosehip marmalade in small bowls on the platter.

6

Arrange the Fresh Fruit

Wash and slice the fresh fruits (grapes, apples) and add them to the platter.

7

Prepare the Bread

Slice the sourdough loaf and warm the naan in the oven or on a skillet before serving.
