Cherry Meat Stew

Hello Dear Friends,

You are more or less familiar with the fruit & meat dishes that have survived to the present day, especially from the Ottoman Cuisine. For example, stuffed melon with meat, lahm-i cherry (kebab with cherry), mahmudiye (chicken meat and dried fruits) or prepared with dried fruits. lamb mutancana … Although fruit and meat may seem very contradictory together, it is definitely one of the experiences that should be given a chance. I tried it for the first time years ago when I was going to culinary school and was very surprised by this wonderful combination.

Now let's come to another fruity meat dish… Sour cherry is also used in many recipes in our kitchen. For example, cherry leaf wrap, sour cherry rice or cherry meatballs… My favorite recipe is Cherry Meat Stew with that sour-sweet flavor it adds to the meat.

You can't get enough of it when you serve it with roasted eggplant that you sautéed in butter.
