Hamsili pilav

Hamsili pilav (Turkish, "rice with anchovies") is a traditional Turkish dish made with anchovies (hamsi), rice, and herbs, originating from the Black Sea region, where anchovies are a staple ingredient. The dish involves cooking seasoned rice with ingredients like onions, dill, pine nuts, and currants, then layering it with fresh anchovies. The rice and anchovies are typically baked together until the top forms a crispy golden layer.
