Hello, I´ve been looking everywhere for the recipe for some lovely food I had in Türkiye, I can try to describe it...It was slices of potatoes in like a tomato sauce, with garlic I think, I´d love to make it, does anyone know what it is or the recipe? It was delicious!

Þimdiden teþekkürler!

The only version i know is,

You slice onion add salt and black pepper to it,mix,put in PAYREX or whatever you like to cook it in,add butter or alike to it

Cut the potato sliced too about 1 cm thick

Ýf you like you can also cut green pepper slice and add on the top,then cut 1 tomato sliced and arrange on the top

Then you add broth and tomato juice to it as both cover them,and you also add about 3 or 4 garlic cloves and you also cut it sliced and you can distrbute them along with the layers

Few with onions,few with and between potato,and so.

You put it for a while on the cook till it boil then you put in oven till potato is done.

Just notice if your PAYREX not to be on direct fire you can put something under it,or better you can use something that can be used both on direct fire and in oven.

Some people,put everything together,onion garlic broth,tomato juice and butter when it boils,they add botato,green pepper and tomato sliced

Some dont put tomato sliced neither green pepper and use only the tomato juice.

As you see,its all goes in how you perefer it.

Ýf that is what you meant,tell me then i can add the exact ingredient for you if you need.

i think we make that same food in my country

(us and the Turkish people shar alot of the same food recipes)

any ways what you were talking about dose it have some kind od meat in it

the sauce is redish it has salt and pepers

 Yes, this really sounds the closest to it, please tell me more!

What is the name of the dish? And is it a traditional Turkish dish?

No, I don´t remember it having meat in it

Actually,im not Turkish ´Egyptian here´,thats how we make it as you see,its same with small different details accourding to the person taste and also you can add meat to it if you like

You can cook the meat first but not well done,keep it a bit raw then add the whole things to it and carry on as described before

Or you can do as described and cooking your meat aside then before the potato is totally done you add the meat like making gaps and put each one,so the potatos seround each one and then continue till its done.

Never the less,this i found

Ýngredients:

4 large potatos

1 large onion

3-4 garlic cloves

2 tomatos

2 cayenne pepper

2 spoons pepper sauce ´pasta´

2 spoons tomato pasta

2 spoons pul biber ´paprika and not chili pepper hopfuly´

Salt,pepper ´black´

Method...

As i explained before but here they cut the potato into cubes

That will be very hot dish ´spicy´ if you wish you can put the green pepper and paprika instead of the hot spices.

Personally i prefer the tomato juice instead of the tomato pasta,it gives it a better taste but of course both are ok

Ýf you want to make a tomato juice,use 4 tomatos,if you like it more reddish you can add more,but for that amout 4 will be enough .

They cooked it in the oven...not at the cooker first... but it would take more time,better put on cooker first till it boils then in the oven later.

Hope that helped.
