I’ve had this many times a long time ago. In 1973-1975 I lived near Adana and for over a year in a small village. Our neighbor was the village butcher. His daughters tended the flock during the day. His wife would often prepare a guvec pot and take it to the nearby bakery (wood oven) and let it cook there for a few hours. We ate with them many times and they with us. This video brings back very fond memories of simpler times, all natural food, and wonderful people. My wife and I often prepare a meatless version of your recipe and have for a number of years. We don’t have a guvec, but we know to layer the food and let it cook slowly without uncovering or stirring. It always turns out so good and the eggplant is our favorite part. Thank you for the great video!
Thanks for watching and sharing your stories with us. I am always fastinated to meet people, who live in small villages. And hope to live in one of these villages, some day, when we get retired. Happy cooking DeBo, and greetings to you and your wife...
DeBo I’m a Turkish person and I live in Adana. Mediterranean’s food is really good. Especially Adana’s dishes... I hope you enjoyed living there. And you should taste Adana kebab one day if you didn’t before:)
Hi, Thank you for the recipe, it looks delicious. Regarding spices, is it just salt that you add to this dish please? I've seen a number of other guvec recipes and cumin seems to be quite a popular spice to add as well as chillies. Can you advise if it is worth adding other spices and chillies please?
This looks so easy to prepare and delicious and a new method to prepare. We do similar but different method.. going to try Your way soonest! Thank you so much once again...😘
Am going to Istanbul again, anyone know a good place to buy a guvec pot? Last time saw near Egyptian bazaar but next day the seller had gone, thanks in advance.
The best way to work things done in Turkey, is to ask people. You will be surrended by helpful people around, including your hotel workers. Hope you find the best guvec pot. Greetings…
Happy cooking Nevin Goeren! My cookbook must wait, until I finish my secondary college, so I can write that I have a degree also in cooking :) Enjoy your day!

I use a spice mix, which shown at 1.12 of the video. It includes salt, black pepper, sweet paprika and cumin.
O man, that looks so delicious!! The earthenware pot looks a bit like a Korean dolsot (made of agalmatolite), btw.
Never heard of that stone! Thanks for commenting and a precious knowledge. Be safe!

Delicious. I usually pop it into the oven; actually have everything ready to go despite the beans. Still waiting on that cookbook of yours 😻
