Etli Bamya | Traditional Stew From Turkiye | TasteAtlas

Etli bamya

Etli bamya is a traditional dish originating from Türkiye. It's usually made with a combination of okra, lamb (or sometimes beef), olive oil, onions, tomatoes, garlic, lemon juice, tomato paste, sugar, salt, and pepper. The lamb is cubed and fried in olive oil, then mixed with the onions, garlic, tomato paste, sugar, and water.


Once the ingredients become tender, okra, lemon juice, and seasonings are added to the pot, and the dish is simmered over low heat. Before serving, the stew is once again seasoned with lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. It's recommended to enjoy etli bamya with rice, salad, or crusty bread on the side.
