Şehriyeli Pilav is a simple, comforting Turkish rice pilaf with separate, buttery grains and little threads of deeply toasted vermicelli throughout. Cooked in chicken broth, it is savory, fragrant, and versatile enough to accompany everything from grilled meats to vegetable dishes.

Freekeh bil Lahmeh is a deeply aromatic pilaf of smoky green wheat simmered with spiced lamb, sweet caramelised onions, and hot stock until tender and fluffy. Finished with toasted almonds and fresh parsley, it is savory, warmly spiced, and elegant enough for a classic dinner table.
