Guvec
« on: October 19, 2008, 20:44:25 PM »
I love this dish when I visit Turkey.
Does anybody know what spices are used?
On my recent visit I had trouble finding Guvec on a menu in Hisaronu and the one I did find was not the best I have had.

I have written on here that I was disappointed in the swordfish that I had in Mangals but their Guvec is one of the best I have tasted.

I think White Man in Hisaronu does Guveç.  It's at the other end of the road near Olive Tree.

We were in the olive tree and they didn't have it, should have gone to the White Man.
I was hoping for a fix before next year.  I have had spices made up in Fethiye and made it myself but don't know what the spices were.

Guvec refers to the crock pot that is used for cooking not the actual dish itself.  Hence you can have lamb Guvec, vegetable Guvec etc. :)

It is the chicken one I have.
I am sure Mangal also called it Turkish Goulash.

Ah, so the mystical spices appear to be salt and pepper. There is a shop in Perth where you can buy both of those Heather, I'm sure I've seen them on sale :D
