Bergama Çığırtması is a regional Turkish olive-oil eggplant dish associated with Bergama, in İzmir province. It is commonly cooked with tomatoes and peppers, and can be served warm or chilled as part of a meal.
Bergama Çığırtması is made by cooking eggplant in olive oil with a tomato-and-pepper mixture, often with garlic. Traditional methods may fry or soften the eggplant first; baking it is a practical way to use less oil at home.
Bergama Çığırtması comes from Bergama in western Turkey, a district of İzmir. It belongs to the region’s olive-oil cooking tradition, where seasonal vegetables such as eggplant, tomatoes and peppers are central ingredients.
Bergama Çığırtması is generally prepared with eggplant cooked alongside tomato and pepper, while imam bayıldı is usually made with eggplant filled with a cooked onion-based mixture. Recipes vary, but the preparation and presentation are the main distinction.
The exact origin of the name “çığırtma” is not firmly established. Bergama Çığırtması is best recognized by its local name and its olive-oil eggplant preparation rather than by a universally agreed explanation of the word.
Bergama Çığırtması can be served warm, at room temperature or chilled. As an olive-oil vegetable dish, it is especially convenient to prepare ahead and serve cool; letting it lose its refrigerator chill brings out the olive-oil aroma.
Serve Bergama Çığırtması with bread, rice or bulgur pilaf to make a more substantial meal. A crisp salad also works well alongside it, while yogurt can be offered separately for diners who want a cooling accompaniment.
Yes, you can bake or grill the eggplant for Bergama Çığırtması instead of frying it. The result will have a softer, less oil-rich texture, but it still works with the tomato, pepper and olive-oil mixture.
Bergama Çığırtması keeps for about three days in the refrigerator when stored in a covered container. Chill leftovers promptly, and take out only the portion you plan to serve rather than leaving the whole dish at room temperature.
Yes, Bergama Çığırtması can be frozen, although the eggplant may become softer and release water after thawing. Freeze it in portions in airtight containers, then thaw it in the refrigerator and warm it gently or serve it chilled.

Bergama Çığırtması is an Aegean dish from the Bergama area of İzmir, made with eggplant cooked with peppers, tomatoes, garlic and olive oil. Recipes vary, but the vegetables are often fried first and then finished together with a tomato-based sauce.
It is commonly served warm or at room temperature as a meze or a side, especially alongside other vegetable dishes and bread. The vegetables contribute fibre, while olive oil accounts for much of its energy; it is not a protein-rich dish. For a lighter version, roast the eggplant with a little oil instead of frying it, and add the remaining oil sparingly.
