In Turkish cuisine, meze is a group of foods served as a series of appetizers or starters before the main course arrives. If youre dining out, meze dishes are often so plentiful and delicious, they end up overshadowing the rest of the meal.That is one of them.Imam Bayildi is a Classic and well known Turkish olive oil dish. Even though it looks similar to Karniyarik recipe it is vegan and with all the delicious combinations of tomatoes, onions, garlic, and olive oil it is a festive summer dish you can enjoy.
This aubergine dish, full of spices, rich tomatoes, and tender smokey aubergines is so tasty that, as legend has it, the Turkish Imam fainted with pleasure when he tried it (hence the name which translates as 'the Imam fainted'). There are hundreds of versions of this dish as it's eaten across the former Ottoman empire regions, from South East Europe to Western Asia, each region having its own influence. This recipe involves two stages of cooking your aubergine - the first step can be done however you like - in the oven, on the BBQ, or wrapped in foil among hot coals (the latter two options can create a delicious smoky flavour). For the second step, once stuffed, you just finish them off in the oven to let the flavours infuse and reduce to become thick and rich.
