September 18, 2026 · 3 min read · HARKAS
Erişte is Anatolia’s timeless symbol of preparing for winter. Tossed with rich butter and toasted walnuts, it turns into a deeply comforting, hearty meal ready in minutes.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
250 g traditional noodles (erişte), 2 tbsp butter, 1 small glass coarsely chopped walnuts, crumbled göbek cheese or grated aged kashar (optional), salt.
Preparation
Add the noodles to generously salted boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, according to package instructions (typically 8–10 minutes). Drain well.
Melt the butter in a wide skillet, add the walnuts, and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the drained noodles to the pan and toss until well coated in butter. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle generously with cheese.
Tips & Tricks
Reserve a ladle of cooking water; add a little if the noodles seem too dry.
Using clarified butter instead of regular butter gives a richer, deeply toasted aroma.
