1 serving (medium) of Vegetable Stew with Olive Oil (200 g) has 170 calories. That works out to 85 calories per 100 g. It contains 17 g of carbs, 3.4 g of protein, 9.2 g of fat and 5 g of fiber. Its 640 µg of Vitamin A covers 71% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Vegetable Stew with Olive Oil is a home-style Turkish dish of chunky vegetables—often zucchini, eggplant, tomato, onion and carrot—gently cooked in olive oil, usually with a tomato-based sauce. The exact mix varies with the season and the cook, and the vegetables are generally left in pieces rather than puréed.
It is soft and savoury, with a gentle sweetness and acidity from the tomatoes and a fruity note from the oil. In Turkey, it is commonly served warm or at room temperature, with bread or alongside rice; it also fits naturally into a Mediterranean-style spread of small and shared dishes. The vegetables make it a fibre-containing, plant-focused choice. For a lighter version, measure the oil rather than pouring freely, and serve with plain yogurt if you like.

Vegetable stew with olive oil commonly contains eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, onions, and peppers; potatoes, carrots, or green beans are also frequent additions. The exact mix changes with the season and the cook, so there is no single required combination.
To make vegetable stew with olive oil, soften onion in olive oil, add chopped vegetables and tomatoes, then cook gently until tender. Add only a little water at first, since vegetables release liquid as they cook.
Serve vegetable stew with olive oil with rice, crusty bread, or another grain to make a more substantial meal. It also works as part of a mezze-style spread, alongside yogurt, olives, or other small dishes.
Vegetable stew with olive oil can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled. It is often allowed to cool before serving, which suits its olive-oil-based preparation, but reheating it gently is also fine.
Vegetable stew with olive oil is a Turkish home-style dish, while ratatouille comes from French cuisine. Both use vegetables and olive oil, but their customary seasonings and preparation styles differ, and the names do not refer to the same recipe.
Yes, you can make vegetable stew with olive oil without eggplant. Replace it with extra zucchini, green beans, potatoes, or another firm vegetable, and cut the pieces evenly so they become tender at roughly the same time.
Cut the vegetables into substantial, even pieces and simmer vegetable stew with olive oil gently rather than boiling it hard. Add quicker-cooking vegetables later, and stop cooking once they are tender; prolonged cooking especially softens zucchini and eggplant.
Keep vegetable stew with olive oil in a covered container in the refrigerator for about three days. Cool it promptly after cooking, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat rather than repeatedly warming the whole batch.
Yes, vegetable stew with olive oil freezes safely, though its texture may be softer after thawing. Cool it first, freeze it in airtight portions, and thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating gently.
Yes, you can make vegetable stew with olive oil in a slow cooker. Use little or no added water because the vegetables release moisture, and add delicate vegetables later if you want them to keep their shape.
