What is Meftune with meat?
Meftune with meat is a traditional dish associated especially with Diyarbakır in southeastern Turkey. Meat and eggplant are simmered together with a souring ingredient, commonly sumac water; household recipes vary, but the tangy sauce is central to the dish.
The eggplant turns soft and absorbs the savoury, pleasantly tart cooking juices, while the meat becomes tender. In its place of origin it is served as a main course, often with rice or bulgur pilaf and bread to mop up the sauce. It offers both vegetables and protein, with 6.8 g of protein per 100 g.
