What is Palu tava?
Palu tava is a traditional lamb dish associated with Palu in Elazığ, eastern Turkey. Lamb is cooked in a pan or baking tray, often with vegetables such as onions, peppers and tomatoes; the exact seasoning and amount of fat vary between home recipes.
The meat turns tender and savoury, while the vegetables and cooking juices make a rich, comforting sauce. It is served hot as a main course, with bread, rice or a fresh salad; outside Turkey, it also works well with simply cooked grains or greens. It is a protein-rich meal, with fat content depending on the cut of lamb and how much oil is used. For a lighter serving, pair it with salad and go easy on added fat.
