Tirit is one of the oldest dishes that has survived from the Seljuk cuisine to the present day. Tirit, which also has an important place in the Ottoman palace cuisine, is known as a recipe consumed by soldiers during wartime as both a filling and practical meal. It is a dish frequently made especially in Konya at Mawlids, weddings and special occasions. Traditionally, it is prepared in large copper plates and shared.
Stale bread is cut into large pieces and spread on a serving plate. Lamb or beef is boiled until it is tender and separated into fibers. Meat broth is poured over the bread to soften it. Boiled meat is placed on the bread. Yogurt and garlic mixture is added. Butter is melted, red pepper is added and poured over it. It is served hot.
Tirit offers a unique taste with the combination of soft bread and refreshing yoghurt blended with the flavour of the meat. The buttery sauce adds extra aroma to the dish, while the spices complete the flavour.
It is a dish frequently made when hosting guests and on special occasions in Konya. It is preferred as both a filling and warming dish, especially in the winter months. In traditional tables, tirit is usually served with side dishes such as okra soup and semolina halva.
