Slice the beef sucuk into half-moons. Heat the oil in a pot, cook the slices over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes to release their fat, then remove with a slotted spoon.

5 min05:00 - 4
Add the drained rice and toast for 2 minutes until the grains turn translucent, then add the lentils, beef sucuk, salt, and black pepper.

💡 Tip: Do not discard the beef sucuk fat; it seasons the pilaf. After removing the slices, toast the onion and rice in the same fat. Keep the lentils firm.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with dried mint on top and cacik or yogurt; pickles go well on the side.
