Meat, tomato, pepper and eggplant tava is made by cooking meat and chopped vegetables together in a pan or baking dish. Brown the meat first, add the vegetables and seasonings, then cook until the meat is tender and the eggplant is soft.
Stewing beef or lamb works well in meat, tomato, pepper and eggplant tava because it can become tender during slow cooking. Cut the meat into evenly sized pieces; lean, quick-cooking cuts may dry out before the vegetables are done.
Yes, meat, tomato, pepper and eggplant tava can be baked in the oven. Cover the dish for most of the cooking so the meat stays moist, then uncover it near the end if you want the vegetables to brown.
Not necessarily. Modern eggplant is often mild, so you can add it straight to meat, tomato, pepper and eggplant tava. If yours tastes bitter, salt the cut pieces briefly, rinse them, and pat them dry before cooking.
No, frying the eggplant first is optional. Adding it raw to meat, tomato, pepper and eggplant tava makes preparation simpler and uses less oil; frying gives the finished dish a richer, more browned flavor.
Beef is an easy substitute for lamb in meat, tomato, pepper and eggplant tava. Choose a cut suited to slow cooking and allow it to become tender before serving; chicken can also be used, but needs less cooking time.
Black pepper, paprika, cumin and dried oregano all work well in meat, tomato, pepper and eggplant tava. Garlic and onion add savory depth, while a little chili brings heat; season gradually so the vegetables still taste distinct.
Serve meat, tomato, pepper and eggplant tava with rice, flatbread, or couscous to soak up its juices. A crisp green salad or plain yogurt on the side balances the tender, savory vegetables and meat.
Leftover meat, tomato, pepper and eggplant tava keeps for about three to four days in the refrigerator when promptly cooled and stored in a covered container. Reheat only the portion you need until steaming hot throughout.

Meat, Tomato, Pepper and Eggplant Tava is a Turkish-style tray or pan dish of meat cooked with tomatoes, peppers and aubergine. The ingredients soften together with oil, making a hearty, home-style meal; the type of meat and the balance of vegetables can vary from one kitchen to another.
As they cook, the vegetables become tender and sweet, while the meat gives the dish its savoury richness. In Turkey it is commonly served as a main course with rice, bulgur or bread, often with yoghurt on the side. It brings together protein from the meat and fibre from the vegetables; a 100 g portion provides 7.5 g of protein. For a lighter version, use less oil and add extra vegetables.
