Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 5: cook until grains and lentils are tender.

What can I use instead of Aleppo pepper in Ezogelin Çorbası?

The entry for Ezogelin Çorbası calls for 1 tsp Aleppo pepper flakes. In its place: Use sweet paprika with a small pinch of cayenne, about four parts to one.

Can I make Ezogelin Çorbası gluten-free?

How long does Ezogelin Çorbası keep?

Refrigerate Ezogelin Çorbası for up to four days, or freeze it in portions for up to three months. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or stock to loosen it. The rice will go on swelling in the broth; for the best texture on day two, store that part separately or cook it fresh.
