Regional characteristics

The dish originated from the Circassians. It is called “Mamursa” in Bolu province and served with traditional corn bread.

In original recipe walnuts are crushed between two stones and oil is dispersed. This oil is sprinkled over walnut sauce.

In some villages of Bolu, boiled rice is used instead of bread in sauce. In the black sea region hazelnuts are substituted for walnuts.

This dish is very popular all over the country. It is usually prepared for buffet type luncheons or suppers, or served on special days as an appetizer. It may be garnished with parsley.
