Скачать или смотреть I Cooked Iftar for 20 People! 🌙 My Full Turkish Ramadan Menu & Prep Routine

Hosting 20 people for Iftar is a beautiful challenge! Join me in my kitchen in Istanbul as I prepare a full traditional Turkish menu, from slow-cooked Orman Kebabı to the iconic Güllaç dessert.

Feeding a crowd of twenty takes more than just cooking; it takes a plan! I started the night before with my homemade Spicy Tamarind and Hibiscus Sherbets, and some of my favorite mezes like Hummus and Celery Root Salad. On the day of the dinner, it was a race against the clock to finish the lamb Orman Kebabı, a comforting Mantı soup, and traditional desserts like Kalburabastı.

Watch until the end to see the final whirlwind of plating and adding the crispy potato topping to the kebab just as the sun sets over Istanbul.

Main: Orman Kebabı (Forest Kebab) with Lamb & Crispy Potatoes

Soup: Traditional Mantı (Dumpling) Soup

Mezes: Hummus, Havuç Tarator, Celery Root Salad, Onion Meze, & Iftariyelikler

Desserts: Güllaç (The Ramadan Classic) & Kalburabastı

Drinks: Spicy Tamarind Sherbet & Hibiscus with Dried Fruits
