Kacamak
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 cup water
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1/2 tsp salt
Sauce:
4 tbsp butter
4 tbsp crushed tomato in a can, or 2 tbsp tomato paste mixed with water
Crumbled feta cheese
Pinch of crushed red pepper, optional
Boil the water, sunflower oil and salt in a pot. Slowly pour in the cornmeal. Stir, making sure there are no lumps. Cook for about 10-12 minutes on medium-low heat. The mixture should become doughy and leave the sides of the pot in the end.
Meanwhile, cook the butter and crushed tomato for a few minutes on low heat.
Place Kacamak on a service plate. Pour the tomato souce all over. Sprinkle some crumbled feta cheese and serve while hot. It's a very delicius dish for breakfast. You can also serve Kacamak just with the Feta cheese.
You can also have Kacamak with Grape Molasses as a sweet dish. Heat up some butter, pour it on top and then add grape molasses.
Makes 2 servings.

Hi,
I am a new reader to your blog. I want to thank you for putting all of these delicious Turkish recipes online in English.
In which region of Turkey is kacamak usually eaten? And is it eaten as a side dish? Or the main course?
Hi,
Kacamak doesn't really belong to any
region of Turkey. It's made all over but it might be cooked differently or with different cheese depending on the location. The main ingredient is always the same (corn meal). It's also called different things depending on the region (for example, Mihlama).
You can eat Kacamak for breakfast:)
Hello my friend I hope you are well. I want to thank you for your site and efforts.
Also, can you cook the corn meal with milk instead of water, I mean if I am making the sweet version?
thank you so much and take care
Hi,
Thank you, I am pretty good:) Sure, you can use milk instead of water.
