Tumbet Mallorquin – the Mallorca vegetable stew from the oven
Tumbet Mallorquin is one of the most flexible typical dishes of Mallorca. It may look a little complicated at first, but a Tumbet is prepared faster than you think.
Tumbet Mallorquin – what belongs in it?
Whether cold, hot or lukewarm, as an appetizer, main course, or side dish, a Tumbet Mallorquin consists of aubergine, zucchini, peppers, tomato, and potatoes. Classically, the vegetables are fried in a pan in a lot of fat and then cooked in the oven. But this variant is heavy, so it is better to prepare Tumbet just in the oven, with much less fat and guaranteed without loss of flavor.
