Orman Kebabı is a traditional Turkish stew of diced meat cooked with vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and peas in a savoury sauce. The meat and vegetables soften as they simmer together, and home recipes can vary in their proportions and choice of meat.
It is usually served as a hearty main course, often with rice or bread to catch the sauce; a spoonful of yogurt also makes a good accompaniment. For English-speaking diners, it is an easy one-pot-style meal to serve at home, especially on a cool evening. The dish provides protein alongside vegetables and carbohydrates. For a lighter plate, serve a smaller portion of rice and add extra vegetables.

Orman Kebabı is a Turkish stew of meat cooked with vegetables, commonly potatoes, carrots and peas, in a savory sauce. Despite “kebab” in its name, it is typically served as a saucy pot-cooked dish rather than grilled on skewers.
To make Orman Kebabı, brown bite-size meat, soften it in a covered pot, then add sautéed onion, tomato paste and vegetables. Cook gently until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through but still hold their shape.
“Orman” means “forest” in Turkish, but Orman Kebabı does not require wild forest ingredients. The name refers to a traditional meat-and-vegetable stew, and recipes vary between households rather than following one fixed regional formula.
Orman Kebabı is commonly made with cubes of beef or lamb. Beef from a braising cut becomes tender during slow cooking, while lamb gives the stew a richer flavor; choose pieces that cook evenly by cutting them to a similar size.
Potatoes, carrots and peas are the familiar vegetables in Orman Kebabı, often cooked with onion. Add potatoes and carrots according to how long they need to soften, and stir in peas later so they keep their color and don’t turn mushy.
Orman Kebabı is distinguished by its mix of vegetables, typically including peas, carrots and potatoes. Tas kebabı is generally centered on meat cooked in an onion-and-tomato-based sauce, though both dishes have household variations and can be served with rice.
For tender Orman Kebabı, brown the meat first and then cook it covered over low heat until it softens before adding vegetables. A hard boil can make the meat tough and cause the potatoes and carrots to break apart before the meat is ready.
Yes, Orman Kebabı can be made in a pressure cooker, which softens the meat faster than a regular pot. Cook the meat first, then add the vegetables for the remaining cooking so the potatoes and peas are less likely to overcook.
Orman Kebabı pairs well with rice pilaf, bulgur or plain yogurt. Since it already contains vegetables and sauce, a simple salad is enough to round out the meal; bread is also useful for scooping up the sauce.
Cool leftover Orman Kebabı promptly, refrigerate it in a covered container and eat it within a few days. Reheat it in a saucepan until steaming throughout; if the sauce has thickened in the fridge, loosen it with a little water.
