Cuisine
Kutlik, one of the masterpieces of traditional Sirnak cuisine, is made by combining a dough prepared with a mixture of fine bulgur and cracked wheat with a filling of minced meat and plenty of onions. Unlike stuffed meatballs in other regions of Turkey, it is usually cooked by boiling and served with melted butter poured over it. It has a very laborious production phase and is an important symbol of hospitality in Sirnak culture.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of fine bulgur
- 1 cup of cracked wheat
- 300 grams of minced meat
- 3 medium onions
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- Salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes
Preparation
- For the filling, fry the minced meat in a pan, add finely chopped onions and butter and sauté; add spices and leave to cool.

- Break off walnut-sized pieces from the dough and thin them out by opening the inside with your thumb.
