Pepper and Eggplant Stew is made by cooking onion, peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes together, usually with olive oil. Soften the onion and peppers first, add the eggplant and tomatoes, then simmer covered until the vegetables are tender.
Bell peppers work well in Pepper and Eggplant Stew, and you can use green, red, or a mixture. Green peppers bring a sharper flavor, while red ones taste sweeter. Cut them into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly with the eggplant.
No, you do not need to peel eggplant for Pepper and Eggplant Stew. Leaving the skin on helps the pieces hold their shape as they cook. For a more tender texture, peel the eggplant in alternating strips rather than removing all the skin.
No, salting eggplant before making Pepper and Eggplant Stew is usually unnecessary. Modern eggplants are generally not bitter, and salting can add an extra step. If an unusually bitter eggplant is the issue, salt the cut pieces briefly, rinse, and dry them.
To keep eggplant from soaking up too much oil in Pepper and Eggplant Stew, cook it with the other vegetables instead of frying it separately. Add the oil to the onion and peppers first, then use the tomatoes’ moisture to help the eggplant soften.
Serve Pepper and Eggplant Stew with rice, crusty bread, or another grain to make a more filling meal. A spoonful of plain yogurt also pairs well with its soft, savory vegetables, though the stew is often served on its own as a side.
Pepper and Eggplant Stew keeps for a few days in the refrigerator when stored in a covered container. Refrigerate it once it has cooled rather than leaving it out for an extended time, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
Yes, Pepper and Eggplant Stew can be frozen in airtight, meal-sized containers once it has cooled. The eggplant may become softer after thawing, but the stew still works well served with bread or rice. Thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.
Yes, Pepper and Eggplant Stew is a good make-ahead dish because its flavors can meld as it rests. Cool it promptly, refrigerate it in a covered container, and reheat gently; add a splash of water if the vegetables have thickened the sauce.
Yes, you can make Pepper and Eggplant Stew without tomatoes, but it will have less acidity and moisture. Cook the peppers and eggplant gently with a little water or broth, and adjust the seasoning; the result will be less like the classic tomato-based version.

Pepper and Eggplant Stew is a Turkish-style home-cooked dish of peppers, eggplant, tomatoes and onion simmered in olive oil. Recipes vary from kitchen to kitchen, but the vegetables are usually cooked until tender and the tomatoes form a soft, savory base.
The peppers bring sweetness, while eggplant turns silky and absorbs the tomato and olive oil. In Turkey, it may be served warm or at room temperature with bread or rice, either as a simple main or alongside other dishes; it also fits naturally into a Mediterranean-style meal. It is mainly a vegetable dish and provides fibre, while the amount of olive oil affects how substantial it is. For a lighter serving, use oil sparingly and pair it with a crisp salad.
