If you have noticed, many dishes with meat sauce in Turkish cuisine are drizzled with butter. Galacos is one of these dishes. But if you’re obsessed with calories, you can’t use butter. If you ask us, don’t decide without trying the buttered version of Galacos!
Let’s not forget to remind. It is also possible to make this local recipe with ingredients available at home. You can use stale bread instead of pita if you wish. It is possible to get the perfect base for Galacos by frying the stale bread that you cut into cubes in the oven or in the pan!
