Roasted pepper eggplant beğendi is a Turkish dish in the beğendi tradition: a smooth, creamy base of roasted eggplant enriched with roasted peppers. The eggplant is charred until soft, then mashed and cooked to a velvety consistency; the peppers add sweetness and a gentle smoky note.
Serve it as a vegetable side or as a bed for grilled meat, as is common in Turkish cooking, or enjoy it with bread as a simple meat-free meal. It brings fibre and potassium along with the vegetables. For a lighter version, use a modest amount of fat and let the roasted vegetables provide most of the flavour.
