An interesting name and an equally interesting tale behind this simple, healthy vegetarian dish from Turkey. Basically it's a stuffed eggplant dish. The story goes like this- there was an Imam who was a great foodie and when he married a rich olive oil merchant's daughter, he was given big canisters of olive oil as gifts by the merchant. And everyday the new bride would prepare this tasty dish to him and one fine day it so happened that she did not make his favourite dish and when asked about the reason, she replied that there was no more oilve oil left and hearing this, the priest fainted. And thus, this dish got it's so called name and is a sought after dish with the Turkish people. Sounds interesting, right. Well, yes and not only is it healthy, but also very very delicious. Try this awesome veggie dish for your families and friends.

Happy Baking !

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Steps

45 mins
  1. 1

    Wash the eggplants and give a slit in the centre taking care not to cut it fully.

  2. 2

    Keep it immersed in salted water until the oven gets preheated.

  3. 3

    Rub some salt and olive oil in the slit eggplants and arrange them in a baking tray lined with a butterpaper.

  4. 4

    Bake them on 240° for about 30 minutes at first.

  5. 5

    Keep it on the middle rack with both the rods on with the fan assisted feature too if your oven has it. Otherwise there is no need to worry. It gets done even without that feature.

  6. 6

    Next, while the baking is being done, prepare the stir fried veggie mix.

  7. 7

    In a broad pan, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil.

  8. 8

    Add the crushed garlic and onions first.

  9. 9

    Saute them for a minute.

  10. 10

    Now add the chopped capsicum and the tomatoes followed by the cumin powder and the chilli flakes.

  11. 11

    Blackpepper can be used instead of chilli flakes.

  12. 12

    Adjust the salt proportion according to your taste and saute these on a medium flame just for 3 to 4 minutes.

  13. 13

    Switch off the flame and set aside.

  14. 14

    After the eggplants are baked for 30 minutes, take them out and carefully fill the sauteed veggies into them.

  15. 15

    Sprinkle some chopped parsley or coriander on top and bake it again for about 10 to 15 minutes.

  16. 16

    Keep checking after 6 to 7 minutes because every oven has different temperature settings.

  17. 17

    In total, this dish gets readied in 40 to 45 minutes.

  18. 18

    After done, take these out onto a serving platter and garnish with some more parsley or coriander and drizzle on top any juices that get left out after baking.

  19. 19

    Serve this amazing dish with naans or pita bread or even your favourite rice. I served it with burnt garlic rice.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
