Pancar ve beyaz peynir (beetroot, feta and pistachios) • I was inspired to make this dish while visiting my auntie’s house in Cyprus, says Hasan Semay. It plays around with complementary flavours that are common in both Turkey and Cyprus. If I was being strictly traditional, I’d use a beyaz peynir cheese, which is fattier and smoother than feta. However, I love feta just as much, and it’s much easier to find in Britain. This is a really clean and simple meze, no fuss. Serve it with plenty of bread.
