An Imam Bayildi-style stuffed pepper is a pepper filled with vegetables in the spirit of imam bayildi, the Turkish olive-oil dish traditionally made with eggplant. Its filling usually highlights onion, tomato, garlic, herbs, and olive oil rather than meat.

Imam Bayildi-style stuffed pepper is a Turkish-inspired take on the olive-oil dish imam bayildi, traditionally made with eggplant, onion and tomato. Here, peppers are filled with a savoury mixture typically built around onion, tomato, rice and herbs, then gently cooked until tender.
In Turkey, olive-oil stuffed vegetables are often served cold or at room temperature, as part of a meze spread or a light meal; they also work well alongside salad and bread. The pepper turns soft and sweet, while the onion-and-tomato filling is gently savoury. It is vegetable-rich and provides fibre, with 3.1 g per 100 g. Use a measured hand with the oil for a lighter version, and let the peppers rest before serving so the flavours settle.
