What is Köpoğlu vegetable meze?

Köpoğlu vegetable meze is a Turkish and Balkan-style dish of eggplant and peppers, commonly served with tomato sauce and a layer or spoonful of garlic yogurt. Recipes vary: the vegetables may be roasted or fried, giving the meze either a smoky, soft finish or a richer texture.

In Turkey and the Balkans it is typically served cool or at room temperature as part of a spread, with bread and other small plates; it also goes well alongside grilled foods. The vegetables contribute fibre, while frying and yogurt make the dish more substantial than a simple vegetable side. For a lighter version, roast the vegetables and use a modest amount of yogurt.
