Tantalizing Türlü: The Ultimate Veggie Medley from the Mediterranean

Instructions

• Instructions

  1-Preparation: Begin by salting the cubed eggplants and leaving them in a colander for about 20 minutes. This will help remove any bitterness. Rinse well and pat dry.

• 2-Sauté Base: In a large pot or deep pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, sautéing until translucent.

• 3-Add Veggies: Introduce the eggplants, zucchinis, bell peppers, and potatoes to the pot. Stir occasionally and cook for around 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.

• 4-Tomato Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix tomato paste, diced tomatoes, sugar, salt, and pepper with vegetable broth or water. Pour this mixture over the veggies in the pot.

• 5-Simmer: Lower the heat, cover, and let the Türlü simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender and flavors melded together.

• 6-Finish: Once done, check for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top just before serving.
