Black cabbage stew is a homely dish associated with Turkey’s Black Sea region, made by simmering lancar—local black cabbage leaves—with onion. Recipes vary from household to household; beans, corn or other vegetables may also go into the pot.
The leaves soften into a hearty stew with a gently earthy, sometimes slightly bitter flavour. In its region of origin it is often served hot as part of a main meal, commonly alongside cornbread; elsewhere, crusty bread also works well. The vegetables and any added beans contribute fibre. For a lighter pot, keep the oil modest, or add beans to make it more filling without relying on extra fat.
