A step-by-step recipe with a photo of cooking a national Turkish meat dish with delicious thick gravy, vegetables and wine - tas-kebab. Subtleties and instructions for cooking. Video recipe.
Tas kebab is a simple and unpretentious dish, which is a stew (most often lamb) with a lot of tomato and wine gravy. Translated from Turkish, Tas means "bowl" and Kebab means stew / cooked meat. From this came the name. In ancient times tas-kebab was served with bread dipped in gravy. Today, instead of bread, a flatbread is used, which is also dipped in gravy. Often, the meat was accompanied by a side dish of carrots or potatoes, and today tas-kebabs are often cooked at the same time as these vegetables. Although real tas-kebab is only served in its pure form with meat.
In our country, this Turkish dish is prepared with different types of meat, and not just with lamb. For example, tas-kebab with pork turns out to be very juicy, satisfying, tender, with which we will cook it today. Although you can use veal, chicken, turkey and other meats if you want. It takes a long time to prepare the dish, due to stewing, but at the same time it does not require much attention from you.
