Pea Stew with Meat is a homestyle Turkish dish of green peas simmered with bite-sized pieces of meat, onion and usually tomato or tomato paste. It cooks slowly until the meat is tender and the peas take on the savoury sauce; potatoes or carrots may also appear in some household versions.
The peas bring a gentle sweetness, while the tomato-rich broth makes the stew hearty without being overly heavy. In Turkey it is commonly served for lunch or dinner with rice or bulgur pilaf, and often accompanied by yoghurt or a fresh salad. Peas and meat contribute protein and fibre, making this a filling one-pot meal. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of oil and add a generous salad.

Beef is a common choice for Pea Stew with Meat, though lamb also works well. Cut the meat into evenly sized pieces so they cook at a similar pace; tougher cuts benefit from being simmered until tender before adding the peas.
