Alternatively, some make Keşkek with barley, but either way, this dish contains whole grains, protein, and healthy fats that’ll keep you warm during winter. A comforting dish reminiscent of a savory porridge that may even steal chicken noodle soup’s infamy for being a ‘sick day’ food.
One plate is so filling you won’t need to eat anything alongside it. Fortunately, we now have pressure cookers to assist with making this meal, but this slow-cooked dish is a far more salivating and viscous version of the European gruel.
