Add all choped vegetables in the pan and stirr for 3 minutes, add salt (2/3 little spoons). Add enough water so the vegetables are just under water. Cook for 45 minutes, add more water if necessary. The end result should look like this: cooked vegetables in a sauce of olive oil and tomato paste. In Turkey they call food like this "Sulu Yemek" (food with water). Eat with Turkish bread or pilav.
If your not a vegetarian you can add chopped lambs beef to the vegetables as well, you can also add green beens to your vegetables but they need to

bon apetit!
or better Hafiyet Olsun!
Thank you! Sounds wonderful! I have some lamb in my freezer and think I'll make this soon. I always grow eggplant and tomato in my garden and look for new recipes to use the bounty. Last year I grew white and green eggplants and they were wonderful!
