Burcu

The Burcu range at FUDI brings together Turkish groceries that make meze and everyday cooking easier: ready-made hummus, stuffed vine leaves, vinegar, purees and tinned vegetables. Ideal if you want to put together a Turkish-inspired table without making everything from scratch.

These are products that lower the threshold for trying Turkish food at home: open a tin of vine leaves, stir together a quick dressing with the vinegar and set out the hummus – and the meze table is under way within minutes. The jars and tins keep for a long time unopened, and most should go in the fridge once opened – check the labelling on each pack.

Frequently asked questions about Burcu

Where can I buy Burcu in Norway? At FUDI – online with delivery throughout Norway, and in our stores at Holmen in Asker and Røa in Oslo.

How do I serve stuffed vine leaves? They are served cold or at room temperature with a squeeze of lemon and preferably a little yoghurt alongside – as meze, a starter or a side dish.

What is pepper puree used for? Pepper puree is a cornerstone of Turkish cooking – use it like tomato puree to give soups, casseroles and bulgur dishes a deep, slightly sweet pepper flavour.

Which vinegar should I choose? Apple cider vinegar and grape vinegar are mild enough for dressings, while white vinegar is the neutral one for pickling. Lemon vinegar gives a fresher note in salads.
