Adding a completely different taste to Antalya dishes, tahini is frequently used in appetizers and sauces and desserts. One of the most loved desserts of Turkish Cuisine with its lightness, color and aroma, pumpkin dessert leaves a very different taste on the palate when prepared with Antalya style tahini.
For this unique flavor, which is between the Geographical Indication and Geographical Indication Products, was registered by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office in 2021. The peeled pumpkin slices are kept in granulated sugar, cooked on the stove, and then fried in the oven. Roasted pumpkins are served with double roasted tahini and walnuts on top. You can include the Tahini Zucchini Dessert during your visit to Antalya, which you will be addicted to after you taste it. It is among the must-try flavors, and you can consume it after eating tahini flatbread and shish meatballs, as most Antalya residents are accustomed to.
