Simmering Zucchini Dish (Kabak Kavurmasi)

February 17, 2018 by eeturner Leave a Comment

With a savory and rich tomatoey flavor, this dish is beautiful and delicious.
Zucchini is the star of this dish. But for this dish I don’t fry it or bake it or skewer it. Instead it is cubed into small pieces and simmered in a delicious tomatoey broth. The end product makes for a flavorful and delicious dish.
Here’s the recipe:
Kabak Kavurmasi (Zucchini Sautee)
  • 3 lbs zucchini
  • 6 medium tomatoes
  • 2 green peppers (bell or sweet)
  • 1 red pepper (bell or sweet)
  • 1 onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 c tomato paste
  • 2 TBSP sunflower oil
  • 1 TBSP olive oil
  • 1 TBSP red pepper flakes
  • salt & pepper (to taste)
Preparation:
Chop the onions, red pepper and green peppers and set aside.
Peel an chop the tomatoes.
Cut the zucchini into small chunks and mince the garlic.
In a large stock pot, sauté the onions in the sunflower oil and olive oil.
Add the red pepper, green peppers and garlic. Stir and sauté until the vegetables are
tender.

Add the tomato paste, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
Then add the chunks of zucchini. Cover with water, approximately 4-6 cups and stir.
Cover with a lid and simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently.
Serve and Enjoy!

Afiyet Olsun!
