How to Make İmam Bayıldı (Stuffed Eggplant)
Divide the 4 eggplants into thirds. Peel a thin strip of skin from the sides and bottom of each piece. (As shown in the photo.) Then hollow out the centers, toss them all in a bowl with 1/2 tea glass (about 50 ml / 3 tbsp) of vegetable oil, arrange on a parchment-lined baking tray, and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) until lightly golden.
In a pan, sauté 1 julienned onion and 1 julienned red pepper in 1 tea glass (about 100 ml / 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp) of vegetable oil. Add 4 grated tomatoes. Stir in 3 finely chopped garlic cloves, 1 dessert spoon (about 2 tsp) of salt, and 2 sugar cubes, and cook until the tomatoes are done.
Fill the hollowed eggplants with the prepared stuffing and arrange them in a pot. Add water to reach halfway up the eggplants and cook until tender.
