Kilis Stew

We were in Gaziantep/Turkey last year for our holiday.We visited one of my friends at Kilis.We stopped by Kilis and saw the magnificence of Zeugma. Water rised up top to Zeugma. The boughs of olive trees were waving in water. I was so upset because of this.

Surprisingly enough I saw a butcher, a green grocer, a bakery together side by side.  In Gaziantep/Kilis if there is a bakery in a place, there is absolutely a green grocer and butcher nearby.

I found it very interesting. At night, my friend made us a very special dish called Kilis Tava(=Kilis Stew). Kilis Tava is a Barak(Barack) oven dish. We bought vegetables from green grocer, meat from butcher and we gave it to bakery.  And we ate it with hot bread. It was very yummy. I make that yummy Kilis stew recipe in an electricity oven.

Ingredients:

• 500gr minced meat
• 3 middle size of potatoes
• Half bunch of parsley

Sprinkle a pinch of salt andblack pepper in it. Knead this mixture well. Spread oil in an oven tray with a brush and spread the mixture on oven tray. Peel the potatoes and divide potatoes into two then place them on the mixture as diagonal. Bake it at  190ºC -200ºC for 45-50 minutes. You can serve it with pilaf. Enjoy it.
