Recipe
To prepare Balâ Tava, peppers and tomatoes are first washed and chopped, then arranged on the bottom of an aluminum tray together with garlic. Lamb chops are placed on top, followed by another layer of tomatoes. The tray is covered with aluminum foil and placed in the oven to cook. Once cooked, the foil is removed and the tray is returned to the oven to allow the top to brown. The Balâ Tava, now browned on top and ready to serve, is presented hot. One of the most significant dishes of the region, Balâ Tava is traditionally prepared as a special meal for guests.
