Antep Ezmesi – Bold Flavors from Southern Anatolia
Originating from Gaziantep, a city renowned for its rich culinary heritage, Antep Ezmesi is a spicy, intensely aromatic mezzé made from ripe tomatoes, red peppers, chili, onions, and parsley — all finely chopped by hand to preserve their natural texture.
At Derya, our Antep Ezme is carefully seasoned to strike the perfect balance of freshness, heat, and acidity, true to the flavors of southeastern Anatolia. A drizzle of lemon juice and a touch of pomegranate molasses elevate this vibrant relish, served cold with lavash bread or alongside our grilled specialties.
A bold, colorful, and punchy mezze that reflects the generosity and intensity of Mediterranean and Kurdish cuisine.
