Squeeze Soup
If you want to "feel warm inside and savor the taste", then Sıkıcık Soup is for you. Its flavor comes from its ingredients; tarhana, bulgur, tomato paste, flour, broth, in short, it is filling and delicious. We call it a soup, but it is actually like a main course. You should go to Simav just to taste this unique flavor.
Kutahya Style Casserole
As our elders used to say, food is better in casseroles. In Kütahya, a different flavor has been added to the stew. In the casserole made specifically for Kütahya; lamb forearm, tomatoes, peppers, and plenty of onions are used to bring the flavor to a completely different dimension. During the cooking process, you should definitely taste this flavor that makes the stomach hungry with its smell.
Poppy Seed Flatbread
Let's meet a flatbread that delights the palate with its flavor; Poppyseed Flatbread. The secret of this unique flavor unique to Kütahya is that it is made only with flour, oil, poppy seeds and salt and cooked on a sheet pan. We'll let you in on a secret: the moment you taste this delicacy, you'll forget the taste of your previous pancakes.
Cube Kebab
As the name suggests, Küp Kebab is made in a cube, and it creates an exquisite taste by cooking over low heat for a long time. The slow cooking of the meat in a cube together with chopped meat, tomato paste, garlic and onion, spices and pepper makes the taste delicious with the mixture of these flavors. We strongly recommend that kebab and meat lovers do not pass by without tasting it.
Tosunum Pastry
This beautiful city, which is also home to a protein-packed pastry, proves how filling it is by naming it Tosunum Böreği. With a structure similar to dolma, it contains green lentils, onion, salt and black pepper. This pastry is a feast for the stomach and a unique flavor for the palate.
After visiting Kütahya and trying its delicious flavors, of course, you cannot return without dessert.
Yufka Dessert
Yufka Dessert with Sherbet is similar to baklava, but lighter than baklava. The 8 layers of phyllo and the walnuts and starch sprinkled between the layers are baked in the oven for 25 minutes, then allowed to cool slightly and served with the resting sherbet. It is almost fascinating with its crunch and flavor.
Fig Dessert with Milk
Those who like light desserts should definitely try Kütahya's Fig Dessert with Milk. This dessert, in which fig, the pearl of the Aegean, plays the leading role, leaves an unforgettable taste on the palate with milk, starch and vanilla. You can also try it with extra walnuts.
