Yesterday was a very enjoyable day, we went first to Eminönü, then to Tahtakale, and finally to the Grand Bazaar. We took lots of photos and enjoyed the history and shopping.
With short breaks of about 5 hours, we found places that even I had not seen before and took short breaks. We especially spent time in shops selling ethnic clothes and jewellery.
We returned home after we had our dinner at the small dürüm restaurant just across Nuans in Tahtakale, which I discovered 1-2 months ago.
We were already pretty tired when we got home for dinner. I decided to try one of the baked chicken mortars presented at the Knorr event. I filled the skewers with olive oil and put them in the oven, and I made this practical and delicious mushroom pilaf with it. The mortar is sold with its own baking bag, so it is very practical and saves you the trouble of buying a separate bag. I was very satisfied with the result. I recommend trying the chicken and rice combination.
I will add the photos of the covered bazaar under this post soon. Love…
