What it is
A rich and savory stew, slow-baked in an earthenware pot, featuring tender chunks of beef or lamb simmered with a variety of low-carb vegetables such as eggplant, zucchini, green peppers, tomatoes, and onions in a spiced tomato-based sauce.
Key ingredients
Beef/lamb stew meat, eggplant, zucchini, green peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, tomato paste, olive oil, spices (paprika, cumin, oregano).
If you order it anyway
Crucially request 'patatesiz' (without potatoes). Ensure no rice (pilav yok) is added, which can sometimes happen with meat stews. Confirm no added sugar in the tomato sauce.
Watch out for
Potatoes are a very common addition; hidden sugar in tomato paste or industrial sauces. Large portions of higher-carb vegetables like carrots if not specified.
