IMAM BAYILDI



Imam Bayildi image

There are many recipes for the iconic Turkish eggplant dish, Imam Bayildi. Most call for much more olive oil than this recipe does. There's quite a bit in this one, but it's a much lighter dish than the classic. Make sure to simmer this over very low heat as it cooks for a long time.

Time 2h45m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium or 4 small eggplants, cut in half lengthwise
1 large or 2 medium onions, sliced very thin
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds (3 large or 6 medium) tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil (optional)
Salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup water
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment and brush with olive oil. Slit the eggplants down the middle, being careful not to cut through the skin. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, until the outer skin begins to shrivel. Remove from the oven and transfer, cut side down, to a colander set in the sink. Allow to drain for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, lidded skillet and add the onions. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are very tender, 5 to 8 minutes, and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl. Add the tomatoes, herbs, salt to taste and 1 teaspoon of the sugar and 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil.
  • Turn the eggplants over and place in the pan, cut side up. Season with salt. Fill with the onion and tomato mixture. Mix together the remaining olive oil, the remaining sugar, the water and the lemon juice. Drizzle over and around the eggplants. Cover the pan and place over low heat. Cook gently for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, checking the pan for liquid and basting from time to time with the liquid in the pan, and adding water to the pan if it becomes too dry. By the end of cooking the eggplants should be practically flat and the liquid in the pan slightly caramelized. Spoon this juice over the eggplant. Allow to cool in the pan, and serve at room temperature.

Provided by Matt Lee And Ted Lee

Categories     weekday, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 medium (about 3/4 pound) eggplants
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup raisins, preferably golden
Juice of two large lemons
6 tablespoons mint, chopped
6 tablespoons parsley, chopped
4 shakes Worcestershire sauce
8 ounces ricotta salata, in 1/4-inch dice
Salt and ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-low heat, add onions and garlic. Sweat, covered, for five minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Cut eggplants in half crosswise so that each half is of roughly equal volume. Carefully trim ends, if necessary, so that each half stands upright. Scoop out eggplant with a spoon, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Reserve shells. Chop eggplant flesh coarsely.
  • Add eggplant, cinnamon, raisins and lemon juice to skillet with onions. Cover, and cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Take skillet off flame, allow to rest for a minute, and then gently fold in mint, parsley, Worcestershire and cheese. (If ricotta salata is not available, cheeses like feta or mozzarella may be substituted.) Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the mixture loosely into eggplant shells, and arrange upright on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake in a 325-degree oven for 10 minutes. Let cool on a rack, then wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate.

TRADITIONAL EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA



Traditional Eggplant Parmigiana image

Layers of rich red sauce, meaty fried eggplant, and melted cheese... Are you hungry yet? Our method for eggplant parmigiana is sure to satisfy.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Vegetarian Recipes

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium eggplants (1 1/2 pounds total), cut into 1/4-inch rounds
Coarse salt and pepper
2 cans (28 ounces each) whole peeled tomatoes, pureed
3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
1 1/2 cups plain dried breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano (2 ounces), divided
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup vegetable oil
1 pound fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a colander, toss eggplant with 2 teaspoons salt. Let stand 30 minutes. Arrange slices in a single layer on a dish towel and roll up tightly to extract excess water.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium pot, bring tomatoes and garlic to a boil. Reduce heat and cook at a rapid simmer until thickened, 30 minutes.
  • In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Put flour and eggs in two more shallow dishes. Coat eggplant in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, letting excess drip off. Coat with breadcrumbs.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large straight-sided skillet, heat oil over medium-high (a few breadcrumbs should sizzle when added). In batches, fry eggplant until golden brown and tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet.
  • Spread 1 cup tomato sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with half the eggplant, overlapping slices slightly, 2 cups sauce, and half the mozzarella. Repeat with remaining eggplant, sauce, and mozzarella, then sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
  • Bake until sauce is bubbling and cheese is golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.

LONG-SIMMERED EGGPLANT STUFFED WITH FARRO OR SPELT



Long-Simmered Eggplant Stuffed with Farro or Spelt image

This is a riff on imam bayildi, the long-cooking eggplant dish bathed in tomatoes and onions that is one of the great achievements of Turkish cuisine. I added cooked farro to the tomato-onion mix, making this more like a stuffed eggplant dish. The active cooking time is minimal, but the smothered eggplant must simmer for about 1 1/2 hours to achieve the intense, syrupy sauce and deep, rich flavor that make this dish such a wonder. Make it a day ahead for best results, and serve at room temperature on a hot night.

Categories     dinner, main course, side dish

Time 3h30m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds eggplant (2 to 3 medium or 6 small eggplants), cut in half lengthwise
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large or 2 medium onions, sliced very thin
Salt to taste
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds (3 large or 6 medium) tomatoes, grated or peeled and chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup cooked farro or spelt
1/4 cup water
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Additional minced parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment and brush with olive oil. Slit eggplants down the middle, being careful not to cut through the skin. Place on baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size, until outer skin begins to shrivel. Remove from oven and transfer, cut side down, to a colander set in the sink. Allow to drain for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, lidded skillet and add onions. Cook, stirring often, until very tender, about 8 minutes, and add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. Add tomatoes, herbs, salt to taste, 1 teaspoon of the sugar and the cooked farro or spelt. Transfer to a bowl. Taste and adjust salt.
  • Turn eggplants over and place in the pan, cut side up. Season with salt. Gently pull apart at the slit and fill with the onion, tomato and farro mix. Spoon any mix that couldn't fit inside the eggplant over the top. Mix remaining olive oil, remaining sugar, water and lemon juice. Drizzle over and around the eggplants. Cover the pan and place over low heat. Cook gently for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, basting from time to time with the liquid in the pan, and adding water to the pan if it becomes too dry (this shouldn't happen; in my experience, the eggplant releases water as it simmers). By the end of cooking, the eggplants should have collapsed significantly and the liquid in the pan should be syrupy or even slightly caramelized. Spoon this over the eggplant. Allow to cool in pan, sprinkle with parsley and serve at room temperature.
