Kumru, a beloved Izmir street food, is made by layering sucuk, sausage, Kashar cheese, and tomato inside a sesame kumru roll, then grilling it until the cheese melts. Hearty and filling, it makes a quick lunch or dinner snack.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the Ingredients

5 min

Split the kumru rolls lengthwise, thinly slice the sucuk and sausage, and cut the tomato into rounds.

2

Brown the Sausage

5 min

Cook the sucuk and sausage over low heat until the sucuk releases its fat and the slices are lightly browned, then set aside.

3

Assemble the Sandwich

3 min

Lightly butter the inside of the bread. Layer in the Kashar, browned sucuk and sausage, tomato, and pepper.

4

Melt on the Grill

5 min

Grill the kumru in a sandwich press or on a griddle until the Kashar is fully melted and the bread is lightly toasted. Serve hot.

Reminder

Important: Lightly butter the inside of the bread before grilling, or the edges may dry out before the center warms through. Keep the sandwich on the heat until the Kashar has fully melted. Allergens: contains gluten (kumru roll) and dairy (Kashar cheese).

Annemin yıllardır yaptığı tarife çok benziyor, nostaljik oldu.
