Guvec Spices
« on: March 15, 2010, 19:20:08 PM »
I love Guvec and like one that is quite warm and spicy.What would you recommend for spice in a guvec? I thought that I would try cloves in the next one I make.  When I ask about recipes in restaurants they are usually vague about what they are using for spice and just mention pepper but I think there is more than that to the recipe.  Any ideas about a good recipe? :)

Paprika could be one of them I think.  If you ever find the proper recipe let me know.  I had a mix made up in a Fethiye spice place a couple of years ago and it was really good.  Might be worth asking them.

Guvec is a casserole of meat or poultry with vegetables:D

Thanks Scunner.  Couldn't be any worse than the Mothers' Day treat I tried.  Sirloin steak and mushrooms.  The steak was so tough that even the seagulls gave up and the mushrooms got burned.  My Mrs ended up having to eat cream crackers and cheese![xx(]

Just read through that thread and the result was inconclusive.  We still don't know the spices: :)

probably pul biber aci (spicy) and you can get non spicy too

if you go to Friday veg market you can taste test

dried thyme is often used in these sort of dishes

I have used Thyme in cooking and don't think that is it.  
The place I went to is no longer selling spices but you suggestion of pul biber aci sounds like it could be about right because I got a hot one and a mild one.

What is pul biber aci ?
