  6. Comments: A Turkish carrot can be as long as a flute and as sweet as honey. Used in many meat and vegetable dishes, they are particularly pleasant as side dishes. This can vary from a simple arrangement of long strips of carrot, dressed in salt and lemon juice, sprouting out of a jug like a vase of rigid flowers, to slices of carrot deep-fried and served hot with cold garlic-flavored yogurt. This refreshing version is from the Marmaris region.
