Keskek is a traditional Turkish ceremonial dish made with wheat and meat, often served at weddings and special occasions.

This dish has a rich history and is deeply rooted in Turkish culture, symbolizing abundance and prosperity.

To prepare Keskek, start by soaking wheat overnight. The next day, cook the wheat with meat, typically lamb or chicken, in a large pot until both are tender and well-blended. The mixture is then pounded to achieve a creamy consistency.

For a personalized touch, you can add spices such as black pepper and cumin, or even a dollop of butter for extra richness.

In Turkey, Keskek is traditionally served hot, often accompanied by a side of yogurt or a fresh salad, making it a hearty and satisfying meal.

While Keskek is a nutritious dish, rich in protein and fiber, it is important to enjoy it in moderation due to its high-calorie content, especially if additional butter is used.
