A beloved İstanbul street-food icon: plump black mussels pried open and filled with fragrant saffron-spiced rice studded with sweet currants and golden pine nuts, then gently steamed and chilled until each shell becomes a perfect, jewel-like bite. A squeeze of fresh lemon over the top is all they need.
Crispy-skinned chicken thighs roast over a fragrant bed of burst cherry tomatoes, caramelised shallots and briny green olives, perfumed with dried oregano and fresh lemon.
