Cut the eggplants into large pieces and soak them in salted water for 15 minutes.
Sear the lamb with the tail fat in a wide pot for 8 minutes.
Add the onions and garlic, then soften them for 5 minutes.
Add the eggplant, tomatoes, and peppers to the pot.
Add the salt and black pepper, then cover the pot.
Cook over low heat for 55 to 60 minutes, until the meat is tender.
Rest for 10 minutes without breaking up the vegetables, then serve hot.
💡 Tip: Soaking the eggplant in salted water first draws out bitterness and reduces excess oil absorption during the long cook.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve Sivas kebab hot with lavash, roasted peppers, and sumac onions.
