Do you need to soak dried zucchini and eggplant before making the stew?

What is Dried zucchini and eggplant stew?

Dried zucchini and eggplant stew is a traditional home-style dish made by simmering dried zucchini and eggplant, often with onion and tomato or tomato paste. Drying preserves a seasonal harvest, and the vegetables are usually soaked until pliable before cooking. Recipes vary from household to household, with olive oil and simple pantry seasonings lending depth to the sauce.

The vegetables turn tender and absorb the savoury, gently sweet tomato flavours. In Turkey, the stew is served warm, often with bread or rice; a spoonful of yoghurt is another common accompaniment. It is a vegetable-led, fibre-rich option rather than a protein-focused main. Use a moderate amount of oil for a lighter version, or serve it alongside beans or lentils for a more substantial meal.
