Meat, pea and potato stew is a Turkish-style home-cooked dish in which bite-sized meat, peas and potatoes simmer together in a tomato- or pepper-paste sauce, often with onion. The ingredients soften as the sauce thickens, and the exact balance of meat and vegetables varies from kitchen to kitchen.
Serve it hot as a filling main meal, often with rice, bread or a spoonful of yoghurt. The tender potatoes and meat contrast with the sweet, soft peas, making it well suited to a family dinner or meal prep; the flavours also deepen by the next day. It provides protein alongside fibre from the vegetables, with 6.5 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of oil and add a fresh salad.
