TURKISH RECIPES

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Ingredients

4 cleaned fresh calamari
200 gr feta cheese
4 sun-dried tomatoes

* SHORT NOTES *

The three most diverse and sophisticated cuisines in the world are said to be the Turkish, Chinese and French. All three are characterised by a fusion of their own strong culinary traditions with influences and borrowings from other cultures with which they have come in contact over the centuries. At the same time, like all cuisines they are shaped equally by the tastes of society and by the available variety of foodstuffs

Preparation

Pick over and clean the calamari. Dice the cheese. Let the dried tomatoes stand in water for 5 minutes. Dip the cheese in the thyme leaves and stuff the calamari with it. Close each calamari with a piece of dried tomato, fasten with a toothpick and grill for 10 minutes. Cut each one in half and remove to a serving platter. Then drizzle with olive oil. Hmm delicious!!!
