Dimlama

Method

1. 1

   Layer in order: meat, onions, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers — salting and cumin-ing each layer.

2. 2

   Blanket everything with whole cabbage leaves and press the lid on tight.

3. 3

   Lowest possible heat for 2 hours. No peeking, no stirring, no water.

   💡 Opening the lid releases the steam that IS the cooking. Trust the pot.

4. 4

   Serve in deep plates, juices ladled over.
