Baked Eggplant Stew With Kofte

Home / Main Dishes / Main Dish Recipes / Baked Eggplant Stew With Kofte

Baked stews are a very important part of Turkish cuisine. Izmir kofte and Musakka are the most known examples of this category. The ingredients are generally pre-cooked or pre-baked and then baked with tomato paste sauce.

You can prepare the sauce by just mixing tomato paste, water and salt or sautee the tomato paste and enrich it with fresh tomatoes as I do. The first version is more practical and the second version in more delicious. A general rule about Turkish kitchen; the more you cook the more the food becomes delicious. One day if you remain between to cook or to just eat something, cook it.

The stew would be a good match with rice pilav and cacık.
