What is Double Meatball Islim Kebab?
Double Meatball Islim Kebab is a Turkish oven-baked dish: seasoned meatballs are wrapped in slices of eggplant and cooked in a tomato-based sauce. Islim kebab is especially familiar in home cooking across parts of western and southern Turkey, where it is brought to the table hot as a hearty main course.
The eggplant turns soft and silky, balancing the savoury meatballs, while the tomato sauce adds a gently tangy finish. In Turkey it is commonly served with rice or bulgur pilaf; a spoonful of plain yoghurt makes a fresh contrast. It provides protein, with much of its fat depending on the meat and how the eggplant is prepared. For a lighter version, roast or grill the eggplant rather than frying it, and serve with a simple salad.
