Lamb and Spices Take Center Stage at Boston's Oleana
“About 16 years ago, I was invited to go to Turkey for the first
time and study with a couple of women there,” said James Beard
Award-winning chef Ana Sortun. “When I tasted and saw the food in
Turkey, it changed the course for everything. It’s become a real
passion and study of mine.”
The trip ultimately led to the opening of Oleana, a
Top 25 restaurant in Cambridge, Mass., now in its 15th year, a
clear indication of its long-standing success. “We cook
Mediterranean food, but with a huge focus on Eastern Mediterranean,
particularly Turkish.”
Known for its inventive cuisine, Oleana’s menu features dishes
like octopus and potatoes bravas with smoked aioli and Turkish
spices; Vermont quail kebob with Baharat spice, barberries, and
pistachio; and duck with spring dug parsnips, walnut tabouleh, and
smoked honey labne. But it seems Sortun is most excited right now
about lamb. And spices.
In this “Table
42” episode, brought to you by American Lamb,
Sortun takes us into the kitchen to prepare three dishes.
