Baked Forest Kebab with Meatballs is a Turkish home-style take on orman kebabı, made with meatballs, vegetables and a savoury tomato-based sauce, then cooked in the oven. Potatoes, carrots and peas are common additions, though household recipes vary. Baking lets the meatballs and vegetables share their flavours as the sauce turns tender and rich.
The soft vegetables and moist sauce balance the hearty meatballs. In Turkey, it is often served as a main meal with rice or bread, and may be accompanied by a cool yogurt side; elsewhere, it works well with plain rice or a simple salad. It is a protein-containing meat-and-vegetable dish, with 9.1 g protein per 100 g. For a lighter version, add extra vegetables and use oil sparingly.
