@turkcewithksenia: In Turkish cuisine, the names of many dishes literally describe the way they are prepared. 😱 ✅ Dolma The word dolma comes from the Turkish verb doldurmak, which means “to fill.” That’s why dolma refers to anything that is stuffed, such as peppers or eggplants. ✅ Sarma The name comes from the Turkish verb sarmak, which means “to wrap” or “to roll.” So sarma refers to dishes where the filling is wrapped in leaves (usually grape leaves). ✅ Döner The word döner comes from the Turkish verb dönmek, which means “to turn” or “to rotate.” That’s why döner is meat that slowly rotates on a vertical spit while it’s cooking.
