Frequently Asked Questions About Forest kebab (without potatoes)
Is forest kebab without potatoes a kebab or a stew?

How should you store leftover forest kebab without potatoes?

Can you freeze forest kebab without potatoes?

What is Forest kebab (without potatoes)?
Forest kebab (without potatoes) is a Turkish home-style stew of tender beef, commonly cooked with peas, carrots, onion and a tomato-based sauce. Despite the name, it is not grilled on skewers: the meat and vegetables simmer together in a pot, making this a comforting one-pot dish.
The beef becomes soft while the vegetables add a gentle sweetness and texture. In Turkey, it is often served for lunch or dinner with rice pilaf, and sometimes alongside yoghurt or salad. Without potatoes, it still offers a satisfying mix of meat and vegetables; a 100 g portion has 8.2 g of protein. For a lighter meal, serve it with extra salad and a modest helping of pilaf.
