Turlu tava in Albanian and Turkish means a mixture of things cooking together in the same pot. You can use any vegetable you have on hand. This is a simple recipe, anything goes! You can even make it without meat, by just mixing a variety of vegetables and cooking them together, making a veggie like stew.
This is also a perfect recipe for a crock pot dinner, all you have to do is throw everything in at one time, just prepare in the morning, and dinner is done.
You may add eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms, asparagus anything you have in the fridge, use it all up!
My son isn’t a fan of zucchini so I don’t add it, I am allergic to eggplant so I don’t add that. I’m the only one that likes asparagus so I no longer add it haha, and mushrooms it’s a split, sometimes I add it other times I don’t.
I don’t measure seasonings, you can just eye it and taste it before you put it in the oven.
What you will need to make (as in photo):
- 2 lb stew meat
- 1 to 2 bell peppers
- 1 onion chopped
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 3 potatoes cubed
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Garlic salt
- Paprika
- Cumin
- Olive oil
- 1 tsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp pepper paste (optional)
This is sooooooo good! I've tried both the beef & chicken versions, and we love them both!
