Antalya Feet Soup Description and Distinguishing Features of Antalya Paça Soup: Antalya Paça Soup is a flavorful dish made from the meat of large cattle heads and rich bone broth, typically served with a sesame-free bagel known as "koşma" within the region. The soup is thickened with a creamy blend of bone broth, eggs, saffron, and wheat flour. The origins of Antalya Paça Soup date back to the 1950s and it holds a prominent place in the culinary traditions of Antalya province. What sets this soup apart is the separate preparation of the large cattle head meat, bone broth, and the thickening mixture, which are only combined at the moment of serving. This unique method is specific to the region. The preparation, especially in achieving the perfect consistency for the thickening mixture, requires considerable skill and expertise. As a result, Antalya Paça Soup is closely linked to the local area because of these distinctive characteristics. Production Method: The ingredients needed to prepare a 20-serving batch of Antalya Paça Soup are as follows: For the Soup: - 1 large cattle head - 1 large cattle joint bone - 10 L water - 100 g lemon salt - 150 g rock salt For the Thickening Mixture: - 5 L bone broth - 3 kg flour - 15 eggs - 100 g lemon salt - 130 g salt - 5-10 g saffron Preparation: The large cattle head meat, joint bone, water, lemon salt, and rock salt are cooked in a pot for about 4 hours. The bone broth is then separated, and the head meat is allowed to rest and freeze for 1.5 hours. When preparing the soup, the frozen head meat is partially thawed, cut into cubes, and added to the boiling bone broth to heat through. For the soup’s thickening mixture, flour, eggs, salt, and saffron are whisked together in a bowl. This mixture is then added to the boiling bone broth along with lemon salt, and boiled for 20-25 minutes. To serve, a sesame-free "koşma" bagel is placed in the serving bowl first, followed by the thawed head meat in the hot bone broth. The thickening mixture and additional boiling bone broth are poured over the top, completing the presentation of Antalya Paça Soup.
