Journaling Day 4
Short again--no time, again.
So today I went on a walk with my cousin Gorkem who I haven’t seen in a while. I really enjoy hanging with him since he gives me strong Shipe vibes except Shipe analyses me more and Gorkem just gives me good feedback onto situations so while the delivery is different they both do the same thing and give me good perspective. Normally Gorkem and I have some life things to talk about but today was more of a casual catch up session with nothing too deep to talk about. It was nice because we went down to the lake on Bilkent’s campus but found another exit and took a cab back up the hill which has made me realize that I will ONLY do that on my walks from now on since I hate walking uphill. I also like walking with the lake scenery since it feels more like a nature walk than the one through campus. Hopefully as I continue on in the semester I will do this and walk more since it is one of my goals.
I’m also leaning towards keeping the second cat (Pepper) since she is a good housemate to Tarcin but I know I am going to get an earful when my mom hears about it. I am literally dreading that. 
I went on a few errands after our walk like picking up Tarcin from the vet (he seems to be all good), going to the mall (to return purchases, get a gift for my cousin Alev’s son, and look into balcony netting) and going to the grocery store (to pick up cat food and litter). It felt like a productive day but yet again I put off reading. I don’t understand why it takes SO MUCH for me to just sit down and crack open a book. Once I get started I’m all fine but it’s the getting started that always troubles me.
I also am totally slacking on Fundagul’s 1 carb day and 2 no carb day diet. Just to recount, my days have been:
MONDAY- Crispy Chicken Caesar Salad Lunch; Il Forno Pizza Dinner TUESDAY- Spinach Rolls Lunch; Eggplant Gozleme Dinner; Pasta Midnight Snack WEDNESDAY- Doirio Roll Wrap Lunch; Fried Chicken and Sushi and General Tso Dinner THURSDAY- Fried Chicken and Sushi Leftovers Lunch; Caramel Frappacino and Freezer Pizza Dinner; Spinach Rolls Midnight Snack
I have GOT to stop the midnight snacks and limit my carb intake.
The weird thing is I’m like half on a diet and half off because I’m still limit myself from going all out on choices but letting myself still eat this much carbs and eat out. I’m limiting sugar but letting myself have Ice Tea and the Frappacino. 
Anyways, I’m not going to let this cheating defeat me though. It’s never too late for good choices.

Tumblr media
Traveling along the Turkish Turquoise Coast via Gulet is all about submitting yourself up to debauchery—one of Turkish delights.
It’s an excuse to feast on fresh Mediterranean fare while the sea tickles your hair and the sun slices the water.
The main objective of the crew is to take care of your every need and want. Specially to offer multi-course traditional meals from the Turkish Mediterranean basin.
It seems our cook Ibrahim works from daylight to well after sunset.
Tumblr media
He is content to carve the middles out of short peppers and elongated eggplant. A mixture of aromatic rice, onions, garlic and herbs are neatly stuffed inside each—the rice is not cooked.
He plunges the lot into a large pot of boiling water tempered with a sluice of oil. Here they tumble and boil as the rice puffs and cooks and fills the skins.
Tumblr media
These stuffed wonders are served at room temperature with homemade Turkish raviolis called Manti. Small and triangular, they are filled with meat and smothered in a warm yogurt with red pepper and oil sauce.
Tumblr media
The gutted interiors of the peppers and eggplant are employed as a base for the cold garnishes that will appear at supper.
One day it is cool and rainy. We sit inside and listen to our captain; Yusuf recounts his days of gastronomic discovery. Only after years of cooking under his father’s direction on the sea did he earn the title of Captain.
Because it is chilly, the lesson is about lentils. Our Captain explains that there are four types of lentils: bright red that cook easily and green, yellow and black that must be soaked first. Once softened, they can be turned into a stew or mashed with hands into dumplings.
Tumblr media
Under his tutelage Ibrahim prepares a traditional red lentil soup.
Smooth and spicy, this traditional soup is easily made and often served with a squeeze of lemon and paprika-infused oil.
After sorting through one cup of bright orange lentils and sautéing them with onion, olive oil, and a pinch of salt, they are cooked in a sweet broth. The ingredients cook for 20 to 30 minutes until the lentils have fallen apart and the carrots are completely sodden.
Cumin, paprika, mint, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper are added. Then, in a non-traditional twist, Yusuf makes a roux of butter and flour and adds it to thicken and flavor.
Ibrahim grinds the soup through a colander for the desired consistency.
Tumblr media
He makes the topping by swirling together a few tablespoons of olive oil, paprika, and red pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. The moment the paprika bubbles, he removes the sauce from the heat. It’s done.
The bowls are anointed with a drizzle of the paprika oil, wedges of lemon, and extra mint and red pepper.
Tumblr media
The soup is served with a panoply of cold starters made from leeks and carrots, eggplants and tomatoes—many are ingredients torn from the middle of the luncheon vegetables.
  A large green salad studded with tomato and black olives finishes the feast.
One day we visit a local market in Oren, a very small village on the mainland. The sights and smells are exotic, the cabbages gargantuan, tomatoes, beans and peppers in every form and shape!
  I buy something for its beauty—I know not what it is.  Turns out to be a bitter melon used for medicinal purposes by the local grandmothers.
Tumblr media
Our captain buys fresh pumpkin flowers for the next evening’s feast.
Tumblr media
He shows us how to make this local “dolma” with stuffed pumpkin flowers and cabbage leaves.
A mixture of raw white rice is mixed with mint, parsley, minced beef and garlic. He shows us how to roll the mixture in the leaves of a cabbage—one that never forms a true head.
Tumblr media
They are rolled and laid down in the bottom of a sturdy pan.
Next, Yusuf shows us how to take the pumpkin blossoms and pluck off the naughty stems, boles and all the hairy bits.
Tumblr media
  He gently takes the flowers into his hands and stuffs the remainder of the rice, meaty mixture into the center of the blossom. He folds them tenderly into the middle and lays them down like babies in a blanket.
Tumblr media
He covers them with some of his mother’s olive oil and a ration of salt.
They rest until the next evening when they are gently simmered in water and enjoyed with salads.
For the next day’s lunch, Ibrahim begins making Adana shish or Turkish lamb kabobs. He combines lamb and beef with slightly more lamb, mixed with salt, which will keep them juicy- along with paprika flakes.
Molded thinly by hand, they are gently fried in oil and set aside. The same oil is used to deep fry large wedges of yellow potatoes—or as the Brits on the ship call them – “chips.”
  Large flatbread is warmed over the pan to soften and then folded with bits of onion, parsley and the meat.
  Heated briefly in the oven, they are split open and laid beside the chips—served with a yogurt -leek dressing, more onions and a spicy Middle Eastern salsa.
It reminds me of a shawarma sandwich I once ate in Tel Aviv.
One evening a barbecue that is literally strapped onto the side of the ship is fired up. Chicken wings and pieces that have been marinating in paprika, oil and salt are skewered and await the flame.
Tumblr media
Our captain offers eggplant and peppers to the flames to make a sort of baba-ghanoush.
Tumblr media
The chicken is served with tomatoes, stewed leeks, sautéed beets, greens, and green beans—all retrieved from the Oren market.
  I have failed to mention the breakfasts in this post. They always have the usual fare: peeled tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, yogurt, bread and jam. But each one has a special addition—one day a spinach and cheese Gozleme, a Turkish folded flatbread. Another day, thick French toast, fried in pure butter and topped with a prune plum, quince compote and more butter.
Tumblr media
Sadly, we come to the last evening; Ibrahim has been cooking all afternoon while Yusuf hoists the sails one last time.
He grates onions, parsley, carrot and potatoes into a bowl. Milk, flour and eggs are added. He spoons them into hot oil to create little savory fritters.
  He has steamed celeriac, leeks and a bit of lemon for one of our cold starters. He chops eggplant and red peppers into cubes and fries them in bubbling oil.
Tumblr media
The sails are lowered, and we motor to our final inlet as the hot oil spits and shivers.
A filet of beef is served, cooked in water first and then hot oil. Perfectly rare and then medium and for the uniformed—well done!
I’m thinking of organizing a culinary Gulet tour in a year or two.
Tumblr media
The captain and crew would be happy to cook and teach some of their ancient Mediterranean culinary secrets to a few gourmands on the Aegean.
Let me know if you would like to join me on a Gastronomic Gulet Getaway.
Tumblr media
      Traveling along the Turkish Turquoise Coast via Gulet is all about submitting yourself up to debauchery—one of Turkish delights...The main objective of the crew is to take care of your every need and culinary want.

It’s shopping day. Come along with me to the Brunswick Market, not many Melburnians know about it. The uninviting blue concrete facade gives no hint of the treasure hidden within. I’ll lead the way, just follow me down through the windowless cavern, past the Turkish Kebab place on the left ( try to resist their big bowl of red lentil soup or the eggy Shanklish ) and the Iraqi Barber on the right, the one favoured by Mr T for $15 haircuts. In the centre of the hall is an open sided cafe, whose owner set up about 18 months ago. She is now doing well. Her gozleme is as soft as fresh lasagne, stuffed with intense green spinach, and receives my ‘Best Gozleme in Melbourne’ award. We’ll grab one on the way out. She makes other savoury pastries, including potato and onion Borek and Simit, as well cakes filled with almond meal and nuts. There are many other specialty stalls here: a shoe shop and repair business run by a Greek man, a mobile phone fixit guy, run by a Chinese man, a clothing alteration store, a Turkish CD shop, just in case you fancy a bit of belly dancing on the way through, and a clothing store selling nazar boncuğu, those lucky blue eye amulets, hijabs, colourful scarves and outrageous silver embossed leggings.
Tumblr media
Shoe repairs, a skill worth preserving.
Here we are at the food section. In the centre is a large Turkish deli, specialising in all sorts of yoghurt, brined cheeses, grains, pulses and condiments such as Pekmez and Biber Salçası. Further along is the Vietnamese fish shop. They also manage supplies for hotels and restaurants so you can order anything you fancy. The fish here is sparkling fresh and they know the source of all species on offer. Ask the lovely woman from Hanoi to shuck six Tasmanian oysters for you then devour them on the spot. Over from the Vietnamese fish shop is the Italian butcher, with his sign, Vendiamo Capretti ( we sell young goat). His pork sausages, full of fennel, chilli and spice, are the best in Melbourne according to my carnivore sons.
Tumblr media
Vendiamo Capretti. Baby goats for sale in Italian, Greek and English.
Until recently, there was a Halal butcher shop and a free range chicken shop but both have recently closed. A sign of things to come? Finally we get to Russell’s fruit shop, owned by Turks but staffed by Nepalese and Indians. It’s the busy end of the market where you can find the things that never turn up in supermarkets: knobbly yellow quinces, tables full of cheap pomegranates, ready to split and reveal their bijoux, piles of red peppers, shiny and irregularly shaped, curly cucumbers, every kind of bean- Roman, Snake, Borlotti, lime coloured Turkish snake peppers grown in Mildura, rows of eggplants, long, short, miniature and striped. It’s the antithesis of a modern supermarket.
Tumblr media
The Brunswick Market. Every kind of bean.
Part of this walk involves chatting. While buying red lentils at the Turkish deli, I’ve nodded politely as two ladies gave me their different versions of the best way to make Mercimek Köftesi, or red lentil kofte. I once went halves in a kilo of filleted Western Australian sardines at the fish shop. An Egyptian woman told me in detail how she would cook her half. People love to talk about food here. You will also be recognised and remembered. And the hipsters of Brunswick? They mostly avoid the place. I wonder why?
My market friend.
Fresh fish stall, Brunswick Market.
Fresh fish at the Brunswick Market. Knowing the source. Ready to chat and clean to order.
Red Lentil Soup with Minted Eggplant is based on a recipe by Leanne Kitchen. The original recipe ( see below) makes a truck load. I halved the quantities and still had enough for 6 bowls. I also lessened the salt, added 2 tablespoons of Biber Salçası ( Justin Bieber in a jar) and kept the amount of garlic. The original is pale in colour. With the added Biber paste, the soup looks more vivid. Eggplants are now in season, and red lentils are one of my favourite budget foods. Eat well for less.
Tumblr media
Red Lentil soup with minted eggplant.
Ingredients
150 ml extra virgin olive oil
2 onions, finely chopped
625 g red lentils
2.5 litres chicken or light vegetable stock
60 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons salt
500 g eggplant ( about 1 large) cut into 1 cm pieces
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3 teaspoons dried mint
2/½ teaspoons sweet paprika
3 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped, to serve.
Method
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Ass the onion and cook for 6-7 minutes or until softened but not brown. Add the lentils and stock, then bring to a simmer, skimming the surface to remove any impurities. Add the Biber Salçası if using. Reduce heat to low, partially cover the pan, and simmer for 40-50 minutes. Add the lemon juice, salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Meanwhile sprinkle the salt over the chopped eggplant in a colander and set aside for 20 minutes. Rinse the eggplant, then drain and pat dry. Heat the remaining oil in a large, heavy based frying pan over medium high heat. Ass the eggplant and cook for 6 minutes turning often, until golden and tender. Ass the garlic and cook for 2 minutes then add the dried mint and paprika and cook for another minute or until fragrant.
To serve, divide the soup among the bowls and spoon over the eggplant mixture and scatter with the fresh mint.
