Get our pazı kavurma recipe - sauteed Swiss chard - via the link: https://www.turkeysforlife.com/2023/04/sauteed-swiss-chard-pazi-kavurma.html
We made this last night but fancied a change. The chard was swapped for beetroot leaves. Similar flavours but the stems have given us a very pink kavurma! :)

Happy new week! :) Time for some for the week ahead - and we're fast heading towards intense summer heat. Our weather page on the blog - https://www.turkeysforlife.com/fethiye-weather.html - is pretty much in agreement, too.
Brits and lots of mainland Europeans, take care in your heatwave over the next few days! :)
