Forest kebab with peas is a Turkish home-style meat and vegetable stew, rather than kebab cooked on skewers. It is commonly made with bite-sized pieces of meat simmered with peas and vegetables such as potatoes and carrots; ingredients and seasoning vary between households.
The meat and vegetables turn tender in a savoury, often tomato-based sauce. In Turkey, it is typically served as a main dish with rice or bulgur pilaf, sometimes accompanied by yoghurt or a fresh salad. The vegetables contribute fibre, while the dish provides 8.6 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter meal, choose lean meat and use less oil; a generous salad makes a fresh partner.
