Adiyaman CuisineEggplant Puree 

Almost all the foods in Adıyaman and made by hand and there are no zeytinyağlı (olive-oil) dishes. Several dishes take a considerable amount of time and effort to make. Some such dishes include stuffed köfte in a tart sauce, stuffed ribs, etc.

Basic material in our kitchenThere is a notable preponderance of dishes

made with bulgur and sümüt (dried bread rounds). Just as in many other parts of Anatolia, foods based on wheat and wheat products dominate the cooking of Adıyaman as well.
