The Turkish name for this recipe means "The Priest Fainted". I think the idea is that it tastes so good it made the priest faint. Anyway, it really is that good and pretty healthy too! This recipe was provided by Brian Bedrosian -- http://www.cookeatshare.com/chefs/brianb-208. Hopefully, with a little prodding from others too, he'll start sharing more of his great family recipes with us!

    Normally I am not a big eggplant guy, but this was good.
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

      I like this recipe because it can be served hot, room temp, or cold and it's hearty enough to be a main dish. I like to squeeze lemon on it or top it with plain yogurt (room temp).

        I love eggplant and this is a great eggplant dish. It has great flavor and comes out nice and moist.

          We just made it tonight and it was delicious. We added a few extras:
          ground beef, and fresh herbs from our garden. We served it with yogurt on the side and spaghetti noodles. Was delicious!
