Rumelia, or Turkey in Europe as it was known, is the area which corresponds roughly to the Balkans today. With the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century, many Turkish families in the Balkans migrated to Turkey, introducing the delicious Rumelian cuisine. This recipe is a speciality from this cuisine.
