Low FODMAP Turkish feta spread

February 27, 2022 By Karlijn 2 Comments

When I studied in Istanbul 10 years ago I loved mezze. Small bites and spreads served as an appetizer at a restaurant. The waiter would come to your table with a very large tray full of different mezzes and you could choose which one you wanted.

Delicious! One of my favorites was this low FODMAP Turkish feta spread, or peynir ezmesi in Turkish.

This is a spread made with Turkish white cheese (beyaz peynir). Sheep cheese which belongs to the same family of cheeses as feta. This is mixed with pepper puree, chopped walnuts and some spices.

Where can you use this feta spread for? 

This spread is very versatile. Of course it is great as a party snack. I like to serve some slices of baguette with it, such as the gluten-free Schär ciabatta rustica or the pistolets, sliced. But you can also serve carrots and cucumber pieces with it for dipping.

This spread is also delicious on a cracker as a snack or simply on a sandwich for lunch.

More mezze?

Since I lived in Turkey for a year you can always wake me up for Turkish food. That is why I have already shared a few other Turkish dishes on Karlijn’s Kitchen.

Are you going for a drink and do you want to put tasty Turkish (or Middle Eastern) snacks on the table? Then try these too:

  • Yaprak sarma (stuffed grape leaves)
  • Turkish eggplant salad with yoghurt
  • Baba ganoush
  • Low FODMAP hummus
  • Gluten-free kisir (Turkish bulgur salad)

Will you let me know if you have made my low FODMAP Turkish feta spread? I would love it if you would let me know what you think about the recipe by leaving a comment and a rating below. You can also share your creations with me by tagging me on Instagram @karlijnskitchen or by using the hashtag #karlijnskitchen.

    With the St. Patrick’s Day coming up, I recommend Corned Beef and Cabbage as a Low Fodmap dish. It is also low calorie as well. Healthy and delicious.
