1Forget everything you know about stuffed eggplants! 🍆✨
I’m taking the soul of the legendary Turkish Karnıyarık and giving it a modern, layered makeover. If you love the flavors of traditional stuffed eggplant but want something even juicier, cheesier, and easier to serve, this “New Style Karnıyarık” is for you!
We’re layering perfectly pre-baked eggplant slices with a savory, spiced minced meat filling, adding layers of melted cheese, and baking it all in a rich tomato-pepper paste sauce. It’s the ultimate comfort food that brings a gourmet touch to your dinner table.
I’m serving this alongside:
Vermicelli Rice Pilav (Şehriyeli Pirinç Pilavı) – Fluffy and buttery.
Cacık – The classic refreshing Turkish yogurt and cucumber dip.
Ingredients you’ll need:
Eggplants, 1 kg
Minced meat ( beef or mix of beef and lamb, 500gr.)
1 big Onions, 2-3 cloves of garlic
2 mild green peppers
1 mild capia red pepper (optional)
1 tbsp Tomato paste
2 tsp Pepper paste (optional)
Shredded melting cheese (Kashar or Mozzarella)
Fresh tomatoes for topping

Nice recept, good idea for lunch inshallah. I didn't see that you make a video about utensil you use…it would be nice to hear about brand names witch you use..🌸
Looks sooo delicious😍. This is a must try recipe👏✨
…try sweating the cucumbers with salt for several hours…wash in cheese cloth and squeeze dry…then add the yogurt (soft g) and whatever else: dill, dry mint, etc…thank you…
Thanks for this recipe. I'll try it in a few months when my eggplants are harvested from the garden.

I love your green rice bowl. I'd love to get one.
Very delicious ❤
I love Old Style Karnıyarık. Therefore, I will definitely try this version.👍 Eggplants are a vegetable that is served too little on plates around here. That is a pity, because Turkish, Chinese, or Italian recipes deliver real flavor explosions on the plate.
My favorite dishes with eggplants from Turkey are:
"Alinazik Kebab"
"Hunkar Begendi".
Both from this channel. Everyone who likes eggplants and does not know the recipes yet should try them.
Please give us the yoghurt recipe
Çok güzel teyze 😊
Juicy-er, cheesier, and easier!!
