Şevketi Bostan - Cretan dinner in Urla (İzmir)

In the Cretan Turks who migrated to Anatolia, they can be cooked with boned lamb meat (şevketi bostan) or boiled salad (şevketibostan salad). İt is very healthy and tasty food.

Hello @DuyguOzcan ,

Thank you for sharing this dish with us, is it specific only to a certain region of Turkey?

I’ve been to Turkey several times, but never seen this meal before, or maybe I just didn’t go the right place where it is served.

@BorrisS

Where did you visit in Turkey ?

This dish is usually done in the Aegean region of Turkey. If you come in İzmir you can try lot of herbal food. ( I suggest to eat you " Beğendik Abi " in Urla / İzmir.

Generally west of Turkey made herbal food, they made meat Eastern Turkey. :slight_smile:

Hi @DuyguOzcan

I too have been to Turkey many times but have never seen this meal. Is it popular throughout Turkey or just Anatolia?

Thank you for the details @DuyguOzcan . I’ve been mostly to Edirne and Istanbul, I guess reason why I didn’t come across this meal!
