Eggplant Karniyarik

Ingredients
- 8 long eggplants (aubergines)
- salt and pepper to taste
- olive oil
- 2 brown onions, diced
- 3 green capsicums (bell peppers), 2 diced and 1 cut into strips
- 6 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/4 bunch parsley, finely chopped
- 3 tomatoes, grated
- 500g (1.1 lbs) beef mince
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp harissa

Method
1. Start by peeling 3-4 lines into each aubergine, then rub them with salt and leave them to sit for 20 minutes to draw out bitterness.
2. In a large pan, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium-high. Once the oil is hot, add the onions, diced bell peppers, and a generous pinch of salt. Stir well and cook for 2 minutes before adding the garlic. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
3. Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and add the beef mince. Break it apart and then stir through the vegetables. Cook the beef for 4 minutes before adding the tomato paste and harissa. Stir thoroughly, season with salt and pepper, and then add the grated tomatoes. Mix well and cook covered on low heat for 15 minutes.
4. While that's cooking, fry the aubergines in plenty of olive oil until golden on all sides. Then, remove them from the oil and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly.
5. Place the cooked aubergines into a large baking dish and use 2 spoons to open them up, ready to be filled. Fill each aubergine with 3-4 spoons of the beef mixture and top each one with a strip of bell pepper.
6. In a small pot, add one tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-high. Once hot, add one tablespoon of tomato paste. Fry for 3 minutes before adding about 3/4 cup (approx. 200ml) of water. Mix well, then pour into the bottom of the baking dish with the aubergines.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25 minutes. Serve with some flatbread to soak up all the delicious flavours.

Turk here, Karnıyarık translates to Splitbelly because we split the bellies of the eggplants :)

As a turk I really aprove your way of doing that (allthough I personally make some slight alterations).
Just a quick tip: if you soak the aubergines/eggplants in cold salted water before frying them, it will make them absorb less fat.

Edit: to all of the vegans out there: you can make a very similar dish called imam bayıldı.

[denizduman]

Perfect example, looks extremely delicious 😊

[arsieglarner]

Very neat presentation and it looks delicious. Thank u for sharing your culinary expertice.

[peterdefrankrijker]

I’ve been to Turkey. Their cuisine is absolutely fantastic.

[bugragunaydin]

Wow Andy, you nailed it! Just like how my mother used to cook it!

[Nembula]

super dish for diabetics. Thanks Andy❣️

[rickyspanish]

It looks so rich and unctuous when it's finished! Delicious!
Thanks Chef!

Oh! I was wondering how to make this dish. One of my favorite meals when I was in Turkiye two years ago. I tend to avoid egg plant bc of the texture, but this preparation was SO good. We never knew the names of dishes since everything was basically just home cooked meals, so I’m glad to see this

[robonitro]

Yes, yes, yes! Finally more Turkish food being showcased <3 Thank you, Andy.

[nirmalakutty]

Andy you ARE a culinary wizard - proud of you and your skills

[mratsnydrome]

Another turkish eggplant dish and my favorite is beğendi. You should give it a chance 😊
Btw you just nailed karnıyarık 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[Linguini-x]

Andy, I need you to make Arayes the right way! I tried to make them and they did not turn out well, also they could probably fit into your street food series!!

[vergitube]

As a turkish i can say it looks genuine enough. It requires a rice pilav as a side dish😊

[franzmuller]

The simplest and most delicious eggplant dish from Turkey is the eggplant salad (Közlenmiş Patlıcan Salatası, I believe with mint it's delicious and the Eggplant must be grilled and skinned after) or the more complex to make Ali Nazik

[aysefatma]

The integral sides of this dish are rice and cacik. You can add some vermicelli, orzo or chickpeas to the rice. Cacik is made of cucumber, garlic, yogurt and fresh mint. Delicious 🎉

[areschloch]

Mate, it‘s my favourite veg by far, please all recipes you have, happy to share mine too🤗

[ubaxAdan-fqvr]

[okuzanadolulucezzar]
