Although originally from Divrigi, this pilaf holds a deep place in the culinary culture of Ulas. With lamb, peeled almonds, pine nuts, and currants, it appeals to both the eyes and the palate. It is a symbol of religious holidays and large family gatherings across Sivas. To find local diners preparing this, you can look at the Harita.
It is preferred that the rice grains separate easily and the meat is tender. With its balance of sweet and savory flavors, it is one of the most special pilaf varieties in Türkiye.
