What is Leek stew with beef, tomato paste, and lemon?
Leek stew with beef, tomato paste, and lemon is a home-style dish made by simmering leeks and beef with tomato paste, then brightening the broth with lemon. It is rooted in Turkish cooking, where leeks are also often prepared without meat, especially in cooler months.
The leeks turn tender and mellow, while the beef adds substance and the lemon balances the rich, savoury tomato base. Serve it warm as a main, with bread or rice to catch the sauce. It provides protein along with fibre from the vegetables; for a lighter version, use a modest amount of oil and add lemon at the table to suit your taste.
