In this quick guide for busy home cooks, a comforting Turkish classic IM ba is reimagined with approachable pantry staples. First, saute onions in olive oil until translucent. Then, stir in garlic, ripe tomatoes, and a pinch of sugar to balance acidity while a smoky aroma rises. Layer in tender eggplant slices. Sprinkle olives or capers if desired, and let the flavors mellow as the mixture simmers softly until the eggplant collapses into silky ribbons. Finish with lemon juice and chopped parsley. Then bake uncovered for 15 minutes to fuse the aromomas and deepen the color. Slice and serve with warm flatbread or rice and try prepping the sauce ahead for an even quicker weekn night meal.
