pilaki

Turkish

Barbunya pilaki

Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish پلكی (plaki, pilaki), from Greek πλακί (plakí).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /pilaːˈci/
• Hyphenation: pi‧la‧ki

Noun

pilaki (definite accusative pilakiyi, plural pilakiler)

1. 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

In 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.
