Ezme translates to crushed in English and is basically Turkish salsa. This flavorful combination of roasted tomatoes, peppers, onions, spices, herbs, pomegranate molasses and olive oil, all hand crushed together, is a popular and beloved condiment in Turkish cuisine.  Depending on the rest of the meal, ezme can serve as a salad, side dish, dip, spread, and all-around condiment. There are also some small variations of the recipe. For example, this ezme recipe is for acili ezme, a spicy version.
