What is Chicken sauté with eggplant purée?
Chicken sauté with eggplant purée is a Turkish home-style dish: tender sautéed chicken served over beğendi, a smooth purée made from roasted aubergine. The purée is often enriched with milk and may include flour, butter and cheese; the chicken is commonly cooked with onion and peppers. It draws on the tradition of Turkish beğendi dishes rather than being a simple chicken-and-vegetable sauté.
Smoky aubergine and creamy purée make a soft, savoury base for the chicken. Serve it hot as a main, with rice, bulgur or bread. It provides protein, while the richness depends largely on how the purée is prepared. For a lighter plate, use less fat in the sauté and pair it with a crisp salad.
