Make low-oil meatless vegetable stew by softening onion in a little oil, adding chopped vegetables and seasoning, then simmering with a small amount of water until tender. Add firmer vegetables first and softer ones later so everything cooks without turning mushy.
Low-oil meatless vegetable stew commonly includes eggplant, zucchini, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and green beans. You can use whatever is in season, but cut the vegetables to similar sizes and add them according to how long each takes to cook.
Serve low-oil meatless vegetable stew with rice, crusty bread, or a grain such as bulgur. A spoonful of plain yogurt or a crisp salad also works well, especially if you want a lighter accompaniment rather than another starchy side.
Yes, low-oil meatless vegetable stew can be made without frying the vegetables first. Put them in a pot with a splash of water, cover, and let them release their own moisture; add a little oil and extra liquid only if needed.
To keep low-oil meatless vegetable stew from becoming watery, use ripe tomatoes sparingly, avoid adding too much water, and simmer uncovered near the end. Stir gently rather than crushing the vegetables, which release more liquid as they break down.
Yes, you can freeze low-oil meatless vegetable stew in airtight, portion-sized containers once it has cooled. The texture of zucchini and eggplant may soften after thawing, so thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stove.
Low-oil meatless vegetable stew keeps for about three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate it promptly after it cools, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat until it is steaming hot.
Build flavor in low-oil meatless vegetable stew with onion, garlic, tomato, black pepper, paprika, or dried herbs such as oregano. Browning the onion briefly in the small amount of oil before adding liquid gives the stew a deeper taste.
Low-oil meatless vegetable stew can fit into a weight-loss meal because it is vegetable-based and can be filling, but it does not cause weight loss on its own. Pair it with a sensible portion of grains or a protein-rich side.
Yes, low-oil meatless vegetable stew can be made in a slow cooker, but it needs less added liquid because the vegetables release moisture as they cook. Add delicate vegetables later if you want them to hold their shape.

Low-oil meatless vegetable stew is a home-style Turkish dish in which seasonal vegetables—often such as aubergine, courgette, peppers, potatoes and tomatoes—are cooked together with a little oil. The exact mix varies with the season and what is on hand, while onion and tomato commonly lend the stew its savoury, juicy base.
The vegetables turn tender and the broth is light, so it is usually served warm as a lunch or dinner dish, with bread, rice or bulgur. It is vegetable-forward and provides some fibre, while remaining relatively low in protein; the recipe affects the balance. Add beans or serve it alongside lentils if you’d like a more filling meal.
