What is Mushroom-stuffed eggplant with ground meat?
Mushroom-stuffed eggplant with ground meat is a Turkish take on karnıyarık, a dish of split eggplants filled with a savoury mixture. Here, the filling combines minced meat with mushrooms, usually alongside onion and tomato, and the stuffed eggplants are baked until tender. The soft eggplant balances the hearty meat, while mushrooms bring an earthy flavour. In Turkey it is commonly served hot as a main course, often with rice and yoghurt or cacık; a fresh salad makes a good accompaniment too. The meat makes it a source of protein, while the vegetables contribute some fibre. For a lighter version, bake the eggplant rather than frying it first and use a moderate amount of oil.
