How to Make Orman Kebabı (Turkish Forest Kebab)
We rinse 300 g of bite-sized beef cubes and cook them over low heat in their own juices until the liquid is absorbed. We dice 1 dry onion into a baking tray and add the meat. We cube 2 potatoes, 2 zucchini, 1 carrot, 2 garlic cloves, and 2 peeled tomatoes. We add 500 g (about 1 lb) of boiled peas on top, then chop 1 handful of dill over everything. We add 1.5 tablespoons of tomato paste (domates salçası), 1 tea glass (about 100 ml / 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp) of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of Aleppo pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon of oregano, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper, then mix everything together. We add water until it just covers the ingredients and bake in a 180°C (350°F) oven until the peas are tender. Enjoy your meal…
