Original Basterma | Sliced Pastirma | Basturma | 1KG

Halal, bastirma

Pastirma, a kind of Turkish cured meat, is a delicacy with a wonderful flavour. It roots from "bastirma" which means "being pressed” in Turkish as pressure is a crucial step in the preparation of it. Pastirma is covered and cured in a thick spicy paste called "cemen", which is prepared with cumin, fenugreek seeds, garlic and hot paprika.

Basturma

Pastirma is sliced thinly and often eaten as a breakfast, fried with eggs, as a topping on Turkish flatbread or diced to be added to white bean stew.

Halal food.  Produced by Turkish meat product suppliers (currently importing meat or dairy products from Turkey is banned but hopefully not for long).
