What is Eggplant meze with garlic?
Eggplant meze with garlic is a Turkish and Eastern Mediterranean-style spread made with cooked eggplant, garlic and olive oil. Depending on the cook, lemon juice or other seasonings may be added. The eggplant turns soft and mellow, while garlic brings a sharper, savoury note.
Serve it chilled or at room temperature as part of a meze spread, alongside grilled food, or spooned onto bread. Its vegetables provide fibre, and the olive oil gives it a richer texture; it is best thought of as a side rather than a main source of protein. For a lighter version, use olive oil sparingly and pair it with fresh vegetables or other simple sides.
