What it is
A rich and tender lamb stew, slow-cooked in a savory tomato and pepper sauce, served over a creamy, smoky roasted eggplant puree. The eggplant puree is specially prepared without flour (no béchamel), using butter, heavy cream, and cheese (e.g., kasar or mozzarella) to achieve a thick consistency.
Key ingredients
Lamb stew meat, tomatoes, green peppers, onions, garlic, olive oil, spices (paprika, cumin, oregano), eggplant, butter, heavy cream, cheese (e.g., kasar/mozzarella), salt, black pepper.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, confirm the eggplant puree is made without flour (no béchamel sauce). Request an alternative (e.g., just mashed roasted eggplant with butter/cheese/cream) if flour is standard. Ensure no sugar is added to the lamb stew.
Watch out for
Traditional béchamel in eggplant puree contains flour; hidden sugar in tomato paste for the stew; considerable carbs from onions and tomatoes in the stew.
