Ingredients
- 4 long, purple eggplants (Chinese or Japanese style)
- 9 tablespoons olive oil, divided (or more, if needed)
- 12 large, whole cloves of garlic, peeled
- 1 large onion sliced into very thin, half-moon style slices (almost 2 cups)
- 2 sweet cubanella peppers, very thinly sliced
- 1 large tomato, finely diced
- 1 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 large tomato, grated
Instructions
- Peel the eggplants in stripes, salt the exterior of the eggplant generously, and set aside for 45 min. Don't chop the tops off. You can cut the extra leafy part around the stem with kitchen scissors, but you do not have to.Pour 1/3 cup of olive oil in a deep saute pan. Add onions, whole cloves of garlic, and cubanella peppers. Saute them until onion is transparent. Stir frequently to prevent browning of onions and garlic. This is one of the key steps to Imam Bayıldı.
- After onions are cooked, add finely diced tomatoes, chopped parsley, salt, pepper and sugar into the saute pan. Cook for another 5 minutes. Turn the heat off, cover and let it cool.Wash the eggplants, dry. Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a pan, fry the eggplants on each side until they are golden brown (1-2 min). Add more olive oil if needed to fry the rest. Set the eggplants in a baking dish to cool.
- Slit an opening in the middle of the eggplant half way through. Don't cut all the way through the eggplant. Make the opening little bigger with your fingers. You want it to look like a canoe.Equally divide the filling among four eggplants. Stuff them well.
- Pour the grated tomato into the baking pan, cover the pan with aluminum foil. Make several slits on the foil to let the steam escape.
- Bake in a 350-degree oven for 45 minutes or until the eggplants are cooked thoroughly.
