Cauliflower Recipe
For the minced meat:
180 gr minced meat (~0,4 lb.) ( brisket, plate or ribs)
1 onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
half teaspoon salt
a pinch of black pepper
1/3 of nutmeg
For the cauliflower:
half cauliflower
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves of garlic
Half teaspoon salt
For the tomato sauce:
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon pepper paste
6-7 tablespoons water
a pinch of Black pepper
a pinch of oregano
For the yogurt sauce:
3 cloves of garlic (which cooked with cauliflower)
4 tablespoons yogurt
a pinch of black pepper
a pinch of salt
For garnish:
Fresh oregano
A pinch of black pepper
If you want to cook the vegetarian version, you can skip the first three steps.
First we are going to start with the perfectly cooked minced meat. Heat the steel pan very well. Put 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan just to cover the bottom. Put 180 gr of minced meat to the pan and spread with the wooden spoon until they get brown. But do not stir all the time. Let one side to brown then stir again. You can also use pork, veal or lamb.
-Add one chopped onion, around 200 gr. Turn the heat to lowest and continue to cook. Stir time to time about 8-10 minutes. Minced meat will get perfectly brown and onions will almost disappear in the pan.
While cooking, add half of a teaspoon salt. If minced meat stick to the pan, add a couple of tablespoon hot water and scrub the bottom with a spatula so you won’t waste that amazing flavor. At the end of the cooking add a pinch of black pepper and grate 1/3 of a nutmeg.
Cut half of a cauliflower into chunks. Heat a wok pan and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the cauliflower and to increase the taste add 6 cloves of garlic. Mash 2 of them before adding. Cook around 5 minutes on high heat until they get a brown crisp.
For the tomato sauce add 1 tablespoon of butter for two people in a sauce pan. When the butter melts and gets brown it has really great taste. Add 1 tablespoon of pepper paste and stir very well. Add 5-6 tablespoons of water to make it like sauce. Add a pinch of black pepper and a pinch of dried oregano. Simmer for a couple minutes. You can use tomato paste, puree or juice. If you have juice you need to reduce it by cooking a little longer.
For the yogurt sauce take the 3 sautéed garlic from the cauliflower pan. Mash them with the side of your knife and add them to a bowl. In the same bowl add 4 tablespoons of yogurt, a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper and mix them well. You can add the ‘kaymak’ of your yogurt also which is top fatty part of yogurt.
Time for serving, get a big plate and put the cauliflower. Spread the yogurt sauce and please dirt the plate as well with yogurt. Add tomato sauce in the same way. Add some fresh oregano so you have the vegetarian version.
For the meat version, put the cooked minced meat on top. Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper and fresh oregano. All done and ready, cauliflower made to take you heaven, enjoy at home, stay safe!

I made this recipe!...it’s so good! Don’t be a fool like me. I decided to halve the recipe thinking it would be enough for hubby and I with a nice salad on the side...I was so wrong! We devoured it in minutes! The good thing I did after testing the sauce I decided to make a second portion (because we both love gravies and sauces) and I was so happy I did. As we ate we kept adding the sauce. It was even good on the salad. :). Instead of yogurt we use tzatziki (because it’s a staple in our diet and what we always have in the fridge). To bad UA-cam does not let us post photos. Make it! You won’t be disappointed!
Refika, you are a UNESCO world heritage!
I second that!
@@KamalikaMukherjee81 Me three!
Definitely! Such a positive energy, we simply love Refika and her team! 💕
🤩 you'r right
@@KamalikaMukherjee81 That's fantastic....and she makes me want to live there
Her dilde aynı samimiyettesin Refika abla. İnşallah yurt dışında da, Türkiye'deki gibi değerini bilirler :)
Evet bence çok tutunacak Refika hanım. Kanadalı arkadaşıma gösterdim çok hoşuna gitti, hele tarifleri başa yazması çok düşünceli dedi. 😊
OMG i guess i'll change my diet menu with turkish dishes...
@Melisa Güda jajajaja u r right, it is sometimes difficult to find vegetables where I live but i tried this kebab and i love it. Loves from malmö
Yes, they are healtier and more delicious. If you keep away from salt, sugar and bread you will do the best for diet.
@Melisa Güda Rastgele. İyi yürüdün adama. Beni gezdir de hatta.
@@ozencgencmert u r right, there is already salt in packaged foods, so we no longer use salt in meals and we try to use honey instead of sugar, we learned from refika :)
@@ifyouareastar9570 you serious she just responded on a comment
My wife and I just started watching your videos, WE LOVE YOU GUYS!
Keep up the good work and the best of luck
Hi from the Caribbean!
This is one of our new favourite dishes. My 17 year old proclaimed, "I like Turkish food", after eating this meal fornthe first time. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe!!!!!
My mouth was watering just watching her take the first bite!
I made this recipe last night and it was absolutely delicious. It hits all the notes of a traditional Iskender kebab but is perfect for someone like me, who can't eat a lot of carbs. Thank you Refika!
Warm greetings from the Netherlands. I made this recipe today for my 91-year old mum. She loved it!
Love your work Refika, but come on!!! Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Peru... Where was Chile??? You know we love Turkey. Show us some love xD. Stay safe!!!
Chile , we love you ! greetings and hugs from istanbul/Turkey
@@lunarbike you cant imagine the cultural impact of turkish soap operas here xD. I know a 4 years old named "Onur".
lots of LOVE to you, to Chile ❤️❤️❤️❤️
India too!!! We also eat alot of yoghurt
Nosotros tambien vos amamos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 saludos desde Turquía
Your videos are so uplifting as I'm home quarantine, recovering from COVID. Thoughtful of you to request all to pray. Much needed.
This look delicious !
I will try it as soon as I find a califlower !
And you don't need to apologize for the video quality : everthing is great.
Take care, be safe, and thank you for helping us go through this rough time with good food and good humor !
We made this two nights ago and my husband said it was one of my Top 3 dishes ever. We love having discovered you here and have incorporated something Turkish into something we eat each day. And we love your messages of love and care for the world as well. Always be you!
7:58 if you don't have, it's not the end of the world... It's a very Turkish thing to say :)
Refika let me tell you, I just spent all of last night and this morning watching every single one of your videos and of course subscribing and liking. What a delight your channel is! I can't get enough of these videos! And thank you so much for making a vegetarian and non-vegetarian version of this dish. I'm not vegetarian but my sister and father are and I'm so excited to try this and have it be enjoyable for everyone in the family. Blessings to you and stay safe!
isn't cauliflower amazing? especially in the right hands, like yours! update: I finally made this today (instead of meat, I added a cubed eggplant that I tossed with a bit of olive oil, brown butter, salt & pepper and air-fried at 400 F for 15 minutes) and this is AMAZING! the cauliflower and the sauces are so delicious! I could eat 5 heads of cauliflower prepared this way!
I love watching your videos! You and your team are a bright light in people's lives. May God bless you all for teaching us how to prepare easy, delicious and healthy meals. I believe that cooking for our loved ones is a way of worshiping and thanking our creator. We have so much to be grateful for.
omg we tried this with my Canadian husband and we both LOVED IT. IT WAS SO GOOD. He doesn't even like Turkish style yogurt but he loved this. We'll definitely cook it again and again.
So super happy.. 😘😘
@@Refika thank you for your amazing content!
Just made it tonight. The first cauliflower dish i've ever had that I 've loved. Outstanding.
Refika, I'm so happy to see that you finally started an international channel. We love you!!
This is literally the BEST cooking channel on UA-cam.
Delicious recipes, fantastic main characters, exquisite sense of humor, tons of movie citations, lots of laughs and colorful photography.
Just. Perfect.
I LOVE you! So glad I found your channel. Being Greek, we have some similar dishes. Can't wait to try yours.
This is the one of the best cooking channels on UA-cam!!! I just ordered 2kg of cauliflower online. I am so excited to try and make this for my family. Thank you!!!
Refika, could you please honor us with a taze fasulye recipe? Like the one Perihan Savas ate in Bitirimler Sinifi. Love your content, you, and your team
So happy I found your channel! Really excited to make this for my husband (he's turkish) - it looks delicious!!
Love your channel! It has been a while since I discovered something I like that much :)
Ooo such a compliment.. thank you.. ı really know the feeling so well.. its greaat I am so happy.. I promise to work hard to make this feeling last.. 😘❤️🥰
I love Iskender Kebab!! I spent a year, a month, and a day in Turkey in the 70s, and Iskender kebab was my favorite food. I first had it in Bursa on my way to go skiing. Soooo good.
Watching Turkish serials, reading about Turkey, before visiting it in November 2021, and getting addicted to Turkish cooking blogs, your s being one of my favorite s, I too have changed my diet... So has my family.
We loved the food when we visited Turkey.
Most ingredients you use we get in my country, India.
You should read about our cuisine too. It is the most diverse, in the world !
It has many things in common with yours... Especially the use of curds. Yogurt.
Your ayran too. We call it lassi.
I am an Indian residing in Qatar. And coz of you I am going out and tasting Turkish food.😘😘😘
Cooked it! And it ist soooooo delicous. Thanks for the easy recipe.
I have started loving Turkish dishes, thanks to you.
Ohh my god. I made this today and it was incredible. Who knew these simple ingredients would make ordinary beef and cauliflower taste like Turkish food! Please ,make all your Turkish videos in English lol. I need more! Also any low carb foods like this is always appreciated :)
I've been watching your channel for several months and somehow I missed this one?1?!?! I'm placing a grocery delivery order and making this TOMORROW! Fantastic. Thank you, Behar, and the rest of your crew for spreading love, amazing recipes, and kindness in this world. We love you!
Thanks Refika for this recipe. It has become staple in our home. My turkish husband and I love it. We cook the cauliflower in the oven which makes the dish much less super easy and less time consuming. We have replaced all yughurt with skyr in our home. This dish goes well with skyr. Skyr is protein rich and low fat islandic diary product.
Refika, thank you for such a great recipe! I have made it!!! And it was the best home-made meat dish we had been eaten with my husband for a long time!!! It is delicious and really easy-make! I was so tired from my night shift, but I was so eager to prepare it and never regret! Thank you! Good luck to you and your family and team!
I love this channel. absolutely love Turkish food.
This looks delicious, I will try this cauliflower version. You have a very interesting and relaxing way of cooking. Blessings
Omg, I love cauliflower and I can't wait to try this!! Thank you so much!
What i really appreciate about your videos is your explanations of why you do things. I can then transfer techniques because I fully understand the whys.
Thank you
You so more than just cooking! Such an excellent soul you are 🥰🥰🥰
Samimiyet,profesyonellik,kalite,vizyon💛herşey sizde toplanmis. İyi ki bu isi yapiyorsunuz👩🍳👩🍳
I made this and it was yummy . Thank you , I just found your channel and look forward to trying out lots of recipes. I loved the food so much when I was in Turkey for 3 months, the people were so lovely and hospitality so warm.
Turkish delicacy is outstanding.,And u make it more amazing
Just discovered your channel! My mum would have loved you so much!
And now I want to send her an email in the middle of the night and promise her to translate your videos... and I can't anymore.
But watching this I feel close to her! 😘
Thank you so much to read this lovely comment is so spacial and motivated 😍🥰🥰🥰
I lost my mom 25 years ago and I Still catch myself wanting to call her and ask her what spice she used or how hot the oven should be or to tell her a joke I just heard....I miss her so very much. It gets better slowly. It does. But she is always in my heart and in my mind. Love you, Mama.
@@dalemills8052 🥰😙

Refika i watched this video for about a 100 times and today i finally tried it! It was PERFECT! I already love cauliflower but this changed everything💜 thank you and keep up the great recipies flow🤟🏻
I adore yoghurt on savoury dishes, absolutely sublime.
Truly enjoyed watching this with my niece during this lockdown. Definitely one to make in a few days🤤
the more I watch your channel, (and Turkish cuisine in general) the more in love I fall with it. thanks for the great videos, inspiration, and great vibes your videos bring to us
Thank you.. for watching and thank you for sharing and making me and the team so motivated.. thank you 😘❤️ hope I will always come up with recepies you like..
Thanks a lot for all your videos, Refika. Turkish food is so interesting comparing to swedish, where I come from. Best wishes from Sweden!
I’ve made this so many times I can’t count anymore! So delicious! One tip…double even triple the sauce…it’s that good! Delicious enough to bring to a potluck and watch how people love it!
Hi, from Canada, Refika. I made this last night and it was delicious. Such a simple way to elevate humble cauliflower. I didn't have pepper paste, but I added some Harissa to the tomato sauce. This will absolutely go into regular meal rotation. Love to you and your team.
I made this tonight with pepper sauce from my garden peppers. It was amazing. My wife is in love with you now.
I discovered your channel today by chance and I have nt been able to stop watching!!!! All your videos are so much and informative and of course the dishes are so easy !
Iskander is my favorite!!!! Thank you so much for a low carb version!!!
Thanks for your recipe and, most importantly, your closing message. A great reminder of what's valuable always. Take care.
I made this the other day, and it's easy and super delicious! Never will I make ground beef the same. The char was amazing! I will definitely be making that yogurt sauce as part my veggie dip repertoire too. Love you guys, Refika, Bahar, and the amazing team behind all this wonderfulness!
Refika, your channel is the most ✨. Love the brightness, variety of colors.
What sends me flying above the clouds Is Turkish delight.
Dear Refika, we made this dish today and I am writing as we are enjoying it. And I do mean ENJOYING IT! It tastes every bit as amazing as it looks. We enjoy watching your UA-cam channel so much that we are planning a food tour of Turkey as soon as it becomes safe to travel. Thanks to you and your amazing crew!
Excellent. Cooking with a smile.
This is on the menu tomorrow night! Istanbul and Cappadocia were wonderful places to visit 10 years ago. I love Turkish breakfast and ayran!
I am so in love with this channel. I love going you explain everything, thank you!
Looks really good and I love the tiny box grater.
Amazing idea for cauliflower! Thank you!
Finally got to try this and I'm absolutely in love with this take on a healthier iskender kebab 💖 I have been binge watching your videous and planning ifta and suhoor meals so severely that I actually ended up cooking with you in my dreams last night 🙈😂🤷♀️ (we made amazing food obviously and had a ton of fun 😍). You are legendary Refika - nothing less 💜💜💜
Harikasın Refika!! Sadece cooking değil, 😀 a lot more!! Thanks so much😁👌🏼🤙🏼
Just made this today for dinner! So delicious.
Refika, I enjoy your channel so much - thank you for this recipe. I’ve made it twice so far and it’s a big hit with my family. 20 years ago I had the pleasure of visiting Turkey and what I remember most was the friendly people and the most unbelievable food wherever I travelled. I hope to return some day.
This is also great for low carb diets! Thank you so much for the great video! Also, I loved your English content! My partner, who is Canadian, finally has someone who introduces Turkish cuisine way better than I do :)
Omg Refikacim ! I'm on keto and Iskender is my favorite Turkish dish. Gonna try this tomorrow using your döner recipe for the meat and definitely the cauliflower instead of bread. Eline sağlık!
Great message at the end and wonderful food
Fantastic idea to make a healthier version. Refika, wish you all the best for 2021!
Refika, I’ve just come across your channel a few days ago and started watching them with interest.
Love this recipe, too.
Loving your channel. Great recipes. Lovely host. Beautifully produced.
Thank you sooo much..
It's so nice to know a different kind of cooking and they're very easy. Love it! From the Philippines here!
Refika, I accidentally came across ur videos...I love them!! I am learning so much
That looks wonderful, sure I had a very similar plate of food down in Konya in Turkey.. The wonderful bitter/sweet taste of the cauliflower mixed with the unctuous meat and the tang of the yogurt so well. Sure there was some cumin in the cauliflower which went with the nutmeg and pepper so well..
Hope you and your team are staying safe and I'll continue to enjoy the recipes that you film.

Gurur kaynağımsın Refika!
Dil değişiyor samimiyet değişmiyor😍
I'm learning so much about Turkish food and I love your personality. I eat a plant based diet and I'm so excited to try this! There is some in my fridge now, and fresh tomatoes too for some sauce, and homemade plain soy milk yogurt 😍 I was going to make pita tonight for some Greek food I made but I think this is the ticket first. Much love from Morrisville, NC, USA!
You are doing great!! 🤗💗😉 I love your videos & your accent and the details you share. Such as showing the names of things and the pronunciations. 👍🏽💗 I wish I had more of the authentic ingredients available to me in North Carolina USA 😢

I'm watching cooking videos for years, you are the first one who made me wanting to visit you and try your dishes!!!
You are both so lovely. I applaud your stand for homo sapiens, by which I mean ALL of us. Bless you for highlighting the IMMEDIATE NEED to save our garden home and the treasures that are ALL the other life forces that share this garden. Another world Is possible. Imagine......it’s easy if we try....
