Does anyone know what is in the olive oil dip they serve with the bread at Shaka please? It did taste like the usual balsamic and oil but the dark stuff was really thick and very tasty.
I had meant to ask when we were there but was distracted by Mr Grumpy who had walked too far and had too much sun yesterday >:(
Didn't help that the first bar we stopped at on the new prom charged us 14tl each for a G&T (along with obligatory flat tonic) and then the veg were cold at Shaka.
Happens to us all I suppose - not our best night out this week :D

The name is Nar eksill sos. pomegranite juice
-
I've wondered the same, it's better than the usual tapenade, also the courgette chips, we love them and tried to make them at home, but they end up to hard and not cooked through. So if anyone has the answers to both questions I would love to know.
-
Yep thats the one, I used to take back to the UK but now it is available, I shake it over salads, so much more interesting, actually shake on anything, yum.
type into google Nar eksili sos and images and then you can see what you are looking for in the supermarkets.

Slightly off topic but Nar related. When making pickled beetroot, I use Nar sirkesi (vinegar) it is not nearly as wersh as the other Turkish vinegars.
-
It is crushed black olives paste then Nar (or Balsamic Vinegar) and olive oil with a few drieds herb sprinkled on top.... ;D

I put potato and sweet potato chips in the microwave in a jug with plastic bag over the top and blast them for 3 minutes, drain and put in hot oven on a greased baking sheet for about 15 minutes, turning/shaking them part way thru. Low calorie chips.lol. should work with courgettes
-
Part boil the courgettes before dipping in a light water based batter and fry.. ;D
-

So is the pomegranate juice mixed with olive oil and crushed black olives as Firo mentioned? It was so delish, especially the olives mixed in -
Do any of the smaller markets sell nar eksill or do I need to go to a bigger one?
-
Most delis, oriental markets and many supermarkets in the UK sell pomegranate syrup. It's very 'now' with top chefs at the moment.
-
It's very 'nar' with top London chefs
-
;D ;D
I must watch more tv - cant imagine what they use pomegranate for. I'm more then than nar.......
-
Nar then, nar then. Calm down.

ah! That's how it's done. When I tried the batter was cooked and the courgettes were solid, thanks Fi x

This is the only pure pomegranate concentrated juice we have found, Nar Eksisi Sour. No additives, sugar vinigar citric acid etc. Very much the same as a pure balsamic. More expensive, but at the moment Bogof at Fethiye Migros just under 12 TL. Great for nar cay. Dips. Make your own salad dressing. Not forgetting your own nar sos sweet or sour. A must to add to yogurt and cumin to marinade chicken lamb or beef not forgetting a tandoori marinade.

No it naturally separates so do not mix
-
Sorry, I meant mix the crushed olives with the nar eksill then add the oil - can tell I don't do much faffing and cooking can't you...... : :)

I can't see any reason you couldn't but why bother? I would put the crushed olives on bottom, cover with Nar or Balsamic and then add olive oil with a few scattered dry herbs on top..

The stuff you can buy in UK is not nearly as good as that made by local ladies and bought in the markets then decanted into water bottles. I always bring some back. Nobody can ever guess that secret ingredient! It's lovely added to lentil soups salads and allsorts.
-
Lıdl's in UK sell Nar (Pomegranate) sauce.

Thanks Quackers - just managed to find some today in the market next to the taxi rank/dolphin roundabout. Now safely packed in my case!
