Cut the eggplants into large cubes, soak in salted water for 12 minutes, and drain.
Cut the zucchini, green beans, tomatoes, and green peppers into large pieces.
Brown the diced beef in olive oil for 8 minutes, until it takes on color.
Add the onion and soften for 5 minutes, then add the tomato paste and turn for 2 minutes.
Add the eggplants, zucchini, beans, tomatoes, green peppers, salt, black pepper, and hot water to the pot.
Cook the tirsik covered for 38 minutes, until the vegetables soften without falling apart.
Rest the dish for 5 minutes and serve hot with its chunky broth.
💡 Tip: Soaking the eggplant in salted water first reduces bitterness; the tomato-based broth of tirsik looks cleaner instead of darkening.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve tirsik tucked into warm lavash, with ayran and sumac onions on the side if desired, Adiyaman style.
