Turkish food that’s actually vegan?! Zeytinyağlılar & İmam Bayıldı #shorts

[Zeyno]

Hello Hermann,

Now that the pumpkin season has begun. You absolutely have to try "kabak tatlisi". It's a traditional vegan Turkish dessert made from pumpkin, nuts and tahini.

As a kid i hated eggplants. With those kind of recipes, now i cant get enough of them. 😂

Its actually a translation issue. “Bayildi” has 2 meanings in turkish. First “fainted” as you said, second “loved” as you missed. When he tried it he loved it. It is the original and correct translation of it. You’re welcome 😅🎉

İmambayıldı usually being served cold. Same dish with meat and hot serving is called ‘Karnıyarık’ which means ‘Split Belly’ in English 😅

Yaprak sarma, zeytinyağlı lahana dolması, zeytinyağlı biber dolması, zeytinyağlı kuru patlıcan dolması, barbunya pilaki, antalya piyazı, kısır, kabak mücveri... There are alot of turkish vegan traditional foods. Turkish cuisine is realy underrated

[TheJuaniko]

You can add rice, cous-cous, chickpeas, bulgur or soy for the filling as well

im literally teary eyed, zeytinyağlılar are so underrated this representation is something i've been looking for for YEARS 😭😭 I LOVE YOU
oh and i recommend being generous w garlic, the best part of the dish

I swear, half the things this guy makes looks amazing, and the other half is beyond that. Dude's bouta turn people vegan

Deconstructed baingan ka bharta. It's so cool how many cultures just figured out roasting brinjals/aubergines/eggplants makes 'em perfect

in the south of Italy we have a lot of recipes which come from centuries of shared history with the northern africa regions, greece and turkey. They are not exactly the same, but there are a lot of similarities and common ingredients such as olive oil, eggplants, zucchini, cauliflowers, etc...

Ever since I became vegetarian Imam bayıldı has become a staple in our household :)
My mom makes it instead of Karnıyarık (the meat version of this dish), along with rice and salad it's one of my fav dishes!

[LostButNotFound]

This filling is called "sataraš" (satarash) in Croatia and neighbor countries. It is often eaten like a side dish or even a whole meal. Yummy 😊

[ViewerEm]

imam byaldi is also the namesake of confit byaldi, the dish that is often referred to as "ratatouille" based on its appearance in the film of the same name. it's the layered sliced vegetable dish seen at the end

EDIT: please stop correcting my spelling, im using the persian transliteration rather than the turkish spelling bc im more familiar with the persian version of the dish

I love his smile at the end of every video. I'm watching the whole video just to see that smile ❤

[brkli]

stuffed bellpeppers and sarma are also really good vegan options! zeytinyağlılar are the best

[melisakaya]

The way you said “zeytinyağlı” was very cute 😄 I recommend trying biber dolması (stuffed paprika) as well

[Boogie]

Wow. I’ve been to Istanbul and all around Turkey and didn’t know this, though I ate a lot of vegetables and eggplant in liters of olive oil and all was delicious. Yum!

[sila]

As a turkish person I am truly honered that you tried and liked this dish❤

[typicalgothgf]

I've recently learned to make this recipe!! Ik my version isn't really authentic since i don't use garlic, but i drizzle the eggplants with a tahini parsley sauce and it's SO GOOD. Like, "my bf who dislikes both eggplants and peppers liked it" good

[dellagustin]

This dish seems to also be common in some regions in Albania, I just had it a few days ago in Gjirokastër. Delicious.
