pilaki
Turkish
editEtymology
editFrom Ottoman Turkish پلكی (plaki, pilaki), from Greek πλακί (plakí).
Pronunciation
editNoun
editpilaki (definite accusative pilakiyi, plural pilakiler)
- A dish of (usually) beans or seafood, cooked in a savoury sauce of tomato paste, chopped onions, garlic and typically chopped carrots and potatoes, sauteed in olive oil, served cold.
Usage notes
editIn compound nouns of which this term is the head and the modifier is a term for the main ingredient, the head does (unlike what is usual in Turkish compound nouns) not take the possessive form. For example, a pilaki based on borlotti beans is called barbunya pilaki, not *barbunya pilakisi.
