Cuisine
Resadiye Village Stew, which is popular especially on weekends in recreation areas and village restaurants within the borders of Çekmeköy, is blended with local agricultural products of the old village after which it is named. This region, a frequent destination for those looking for food cooked in a natural environment across İstanbul, is well known for its stew making. In the forest restaurants located on the Map, clay pots are sealed with dough and cooked over embers.
Cooking the lamb meat in its own juice with added fresh thyme gives the dish a unique tenderness. This flavor, which fully reflects the traditional stew cooking techniques of Türkiye cuisine, is enriched with local market vegetables.
