Now I'm going to tell you about a dish I absolutely love: Quince in Olive Oil.
I ate this at a lovely restaurant in Nişantaşı. I'm sorry, but mine turned out much better, absolutely delicious :)
I diced 3 quinces.
I diced 1 medium potato. I didn't have this, so I added it. I think it was delicious. You can omit it if you don't want to.
I chopped an onion and sautéed it in olive oil. Then I added the quince and potatoes. I added a little salt, but no water. I also added 3 cloves (they added a great flavor). I turned the heat down and covered it. It cooked through, releasing and absorbing its own juices.
After it cooked, I added the juice of 1 mandarin and 1/2 lemon. I stirred it and covered it. Just so you know, adding the lemon before it's cooked slows it down :)
I'll make this every week throughout the winter. It was so fresh and delicious.
Wishing everyone a healthy, happy, and sugar-free week.
With love,
Sema
