While I was in Söke market the other week, I had what I can describe as some form of round thin flat bread, filled with cabbage, feta cheese and spices.....maybe chilli? it tasted wonderful!!! I was just wondering if anyone knew what it was called? It was very tasty.....If that is what fast food in Turkey is like, then it beats a rotten burger in the uk any day!

You probably hit a local "börek" or "dürüm". Next time you are in the market, ask the guy what he calls it.....and let me know !

I don't think it was lahmacun. I noticed that a lady next to her was also making a sweet variety, so maybe you can have it sweet or savoury? the bread was sort of like tortilla.

 It is just an accidential smillarity in word. "Gözleme" and "gözlemek" have nothing to do with each other as far as I know.
This here is gözleme:

I found this version in a Turkish cookery book.
6 large egg-plants
juice of one lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic crushed
1/2 glass yoghurt
Grill whole egg plants until burnt on outside and very soft inside. Hold by the stem under cold tap for a few seconds and remove skin. Cut off stem and mash with fork and mix with lemon juice,salt, olive oil,garlic and yoghurt.Decorate with slices of tomatoe and black olives.
I hope this is helpful.

Thanks Joey,
I'll try this tonight. i think the secret is in burning them. This is how you get the 'smoky' taste I was talking about.
If anyone has any variations of this recipe, i'd still like them because i'll try them all. Thanks

hi Lyndie
my recipe is only slight different but I will write it anyway
2 aubergines
2-3 cloves garlic crushed
3 tablespoons olive oil
juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons yoghurt
as you can see there is no salt but I'm not sure if this should be like this or this is only my mistake - I was writing this while watching person doing it so I simply could overlook salt.
and I think this version has more garlic tase.
you prepare it almost the same way - you have to prick aubergines in few places and then grill them quite long, until their skin will burn. you are right - this is what gives "smoky" taste. I don't know how are you going to grill them but the best way to get really "smoky" taste is to use charcoal and grill aubergines under the cover. then you cut aubergines in half, took out the inside with a spoon - it can be quite difficult as they will be veeery hot. then pour lemon juice and mash with fork, add garlic, olive oil and mash again. olive oil should be added slowly. at the end add yoghurt.
as I said I wote down what I saw other person was doing but I've never done this by myself so far so I can't give any guarantee for this recipe

I have no doubt the variation by Fazi is better as grilling over charcoal would greatly enhance the flavour and I thought myself that 1 teaspoon salt was excessive.

What is the usual thing to find in gözleme mltm ? I tasted like cabbage.....maybe spinach ? and quite spicy. Maybe it was something other than gözleme.

As Turkey grow a lot of melons and serve them.
Try this: Galia melon balled and sprinkled with demerara sugar, add a little sherry. Chill and serve.

The principle is, many sorts of herb can be found in gözleme. However the widespread herb to be found in gözleme is spinach. The other things are potato, goat's cheese, meance meat. Of course, in all kind of gözleme spicy shouldn't be forgotten.
