About Mercimek pilavi
Mercimek Pilavi is a traditional Turkish dish made with red lentils and bulgur, often cooked with onions, tomato paste, and flavorful olive oil. This hearty pilaf is a staple in Turkish cuisine, celebrated for its simplicity and nutritional benefits. Rich in plant-based protein from the lentils, it offers a filling and satisfying meal, making it an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans. Bulgur provides complex carbohydrates and fiber, supporting digestive health and sustained energy levels. The dish is naturally low in fat, especially if prepared with minimal oil, and packed with essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. However, depending on preparation, it may contain added sodium from tomato paste or salt, so mindful seasoning ensures a healthy balance. Mercimek Pilavi is a wholesome and comforting option that combines rich flavors with nutritional value, embodying the heart of Turkish home cooking.
