This recipe is for a Turkish dish called Güveç, which is made by cooking lamb or beef together with vegetables in a pot. The main ingredients are lamb or beef diced with onion, garlic, peppers, olive oil, tomato paste or diced tomatoes. The meat and vegetables are layered in a pot and covered with water before being cooked at a low heat for 2-3 hours, allowing the flavors to blend without stirring. Güveç can be made with varying ingredients but always involves long, slow cooking of meat and vegetables together in a sealed pot.
