Hello Mary, it's really to die for. I made it for a Family Grillparty and everybody loved it. (I just need more Eggplant, because by frying so much Pieces where fallen in my mouth 😂 )
Until I found your channel, Turkey was not on my top 10 list of places to visit. Now it is #1! I love that Sara Moulton taught you something. Watching her taught me to cook long ago.
I don’t understand people who don’t like eggplant. It is my favourite 🤤 Sending love from Beautiful British Columbia, Canada. I love watching you Refika. 💕You are amazing!
It looks delicious, in Spain we also eat eggplant cooked in many ways. Yes, please keep making videos with eggplant recipes. After watching today's, I will never put it in salted water before cooking it again. Thank you, Refika, for being so kind and so nice, I love your videos.
0:21 this is proper English in the restaurant industry. It’s a simple marker that comforts me to know that halfway across the world, you all are my people! I’ve seen every single one of your English videos and greatly enjoy everybody on the channel. Cheers from North Carolina, USA!
You can tell the gender of the eggplant by checking the bottom. The male eggplants have a line where the flower blossom was; the female eggplants have a circle. The benefit of knowing this is that the male eggplants have much more seeds, so they aren't ideal for dishes like Babaganoush or steamed eggplant. #TheMoreYouKnow
Thanks! I was at a market and this guy started to talk to my daughter and I explaining green peppers and eggplant letting us know the different and taste.
How does this work? The female part of a flower needs to be fertilized by male pollen, then the flower develops into a fruit (eggplant, in this case). Meaning that all fruits come from female flowers...
@@jeskehendriks Eggplants are cross-pollinating and have male AND female flowers that fruit! ;) So, all fruits of eggplants can come from either a male or a female flower! 🍆
@@Inanna08 How can male flowers fruit? Where do the egg cells come from for fertilization? It's only the male 'sperm' cells that travel from plant to plant in the form of pollen. As a biologist, I was very sceptic. I've looked it up and it appears to be a myth that aubergine-fruits have genders.
Şakşuka is one of my favorite turkish dishes. Actually, I drive one hour to eat in a Turkish cafe here in Puerto Rico. This cafe is owned by a turkish guy who fell in love with a puertorrican woman. I love almost all dishes in that cafe. 😋 In other note, Refika, pink suits you!
In my languagge we used to call eggplant "törökparadicsom", that means Turkish Tomato. In some fancy restaurants they still name it so. Here we mostly just slice it and bread-coat for deep frying - very poor indeed, I never do that with this wonderful vegetable. All my eggplant dishes are Turkish or Arabish recipes, modified some way to my taste and of course the available ingredients. Now we have mint, I dried some and when we have delicius fresh tomato, will try your shakshuka. Thank you for the recpe :-).
@@СпасЯнков-э2ч Right, we cook paprikás. Saute some chopped white onion, season with salt and sweet red paprika powder. When the paprika paints the oil red, add the cubed eggplants and cook till soft. Serve with steamed rice or boiled potato. Not bad, but nothing near to those savoury eggplant dishes of the Mediterranean area and the Near East. We also make some bread spread, but not too many people: grill the whole eggplant till black. Remove the skin and blend the creamy flesh till smooth. Season with salt, pepper, garlic or onion. Some people add mayo. This spread is also quite good, but that's all 3 ways we can call "traditional". (the third is the breaded deep fry) And, not too many people. Here we should really add more eggplants to our diet. To do so, we must learn new recipes. Or just adopt some from those who really has large variety of eggplant recipes.
In Egypt we call it eggplant with vinegar and garlic 😋 we but the garlic and after a minute or so we add the vinegar. And then we but the tomato 🍅 sauce .the smell of the garlic with vinegar is great and delicious 😋
Yes, more eggplant recipes, please. I am trying to eat more eggplant. Every time I eat it I want to cook more dishes with eggplant because it is so tasty. 🍆
When I watch you cook I feel like I am cooking with family. Your presence is warm, engaging and fun. Your food is full of flavor and beautifully presented. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us.
Another thing..in our country we make a dish called burrani.. with fried egg plants and beaten yogurt with few asian spices...very simple dish but taste great ..especially in summers.
Yes! More eggplant recipes! You explain everything so well and make it seem so simple. You know so much about and have so much experience to share. Love from Canada 🇨🇦
I think I want to visit Turkey! I absolutely love your content, your good cheer and quick pace are so refreshing. The 4K videos are stunning, great music choices, and a nice sense of humor. I've been cooking for more than 50 years, and I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. I never considered Turkish cuisine before, but my mouth is watering to try your recipes. I'm also enjoying how you have made this a family effort. Keep up the good work and excellent content.
I'm Indian and I fell in love with middle eastern food when I visited UAE and Egypt. You've sold me on Turkish food, every video makes my mouth water. Once allowed, I'm travelling to Turkey to have everything I can. ❤️❤️❤️
Refika & Bahar’s malicious eye... thanks a lot for eggplants so delicious ! There is a fashion in Armenia (since 10 or 15 years I think) to dig ancient recipes & try them again... maybe it’s all over the world ? Do you have a ancien recipe (that you’d hear from in a village ?) I find those recipes interesting because usually you get to learn a lot about how people lived, got together, sang & danced... Thanks again for your videos I love them & my children know you too : when they ask where does the recipe come from: from my smile they say : Refikaaaaaa ;) ! 🤩
when one cooks eggplant well, one becomes the star. THANK you for this specific tutorial. Will be making it soon. More eggplant recipes would be welcome.
Just discovered your channel and the timing is perfect. Lots of fresh eggplant coming out of the garden. Can't wait to give this recipe a try. Wonderful memories of the tasty food I ate when I backpacked in the Izmir region 30+ years ago. Beautiful country, beautiful people.
It's said , if the scar on the blossom end is small and round it will have less seeds and be sweeter than one with a scar that is larger and more elongated. This is how the male and female thing came about but all fruits are female.
And then later, when she talked about preventing browning by putting the cut eggplant, Refika hit "her" repeatedly...😄😄😄 In connection to the intro I couldn't keep my face straight. 😄❤
Hi there. I follow your recipes and watch your videos from Canada and I recently made your lentil soup. Yum! I have watched almost all your videos! I love them!
It's delicious! I just did it and absolutely love it. I'm Bulgarian in Canada and we have only 3 kind of eggplant - like little ball, skinny and long and the most common with the belly. In Bulgaria we call it патладжан "patladjan". Refika I love your recipes, I love you and your crew. To be honest, sometimes I watch you when I feel down and your energy is magical!
Tried it, loved it. Like Caponata but it has such a different taste. Cooked eggplant exactly like you instructed. It just melts in your mouth. Love it. Thank you for the recipe. Will be making it again for sure.
I like eggplant but haven’t tried cooking with it nearly enough. That is about to change, thanks for the inspiration! I would also be interested in seeing some of your favourite places to eat in Istanbul. When it’s safe of course.
Dear Refika, I just came across your channel and I am already enthralled by it. I love the vegetarian recipes. But I love your energy more. Thank you. ♥️♥️♥️♥️ From Tanzania.
Oh happy day! I opened my subscriptions and there you were! Me with an eggplant sitting on the counter, and tomato purée in the fridge. I made your recipe as I watched your video, pausing to grab ngredients🤣( didn’t even prewatch it!) Did I have sheep cheese in the fridge? Yes I did. So I just had the tastiest saucy eggplant on cheese and I am doing a happy dance. You are delightful and I love you!
Refika!!! Thank you so much for your beautiful recipes. I listen to all your videos, both in English and Turkish. I can understand & speak Turkish but can't write well...sorry. I lived in Istanbul for 12 years and my husband is from Turkey. Five of my eight children were born in Istanbul. Our family loves your recipes. I would love to meet you one day when we visit Istanbul again. My husband and I have a very large garden and we are growing many eggplant;, how can I freeze or preserve them? And more eggplant recipes please!
Refika, you are sooo funny about he or she, your English is perfect, your recipe is amazing. Please, we want more eggplant recipes. Thank you Refika and bravo Bahar for the presentation, it looks soooo delicious. I love you guys
My momma used to fry it for us. So good. Then I went to a Persian picnic after work with my friend Rachel! A beautiful woman arrived late and she had put eggplant in a baking dish and put tomatoes, onions and olive oil and I. Was hooked. It didn’t last long either. We scooped it up and ate with gusto! Yummmmmmmy
This looks fab--can't wait to make it. Please make an English Imam Bayilde recipe? And also my grandmother used to make batlijan turshu *eggplant pickle) with a stuffing of coriander seeds and some green herbs, and then the baby eggplants tied up. Do you know that one, too, by any chance? I wouldn't mind seeing that eggplant pilaf, either :)
It is 15:30 in Santiago, Chile. I have just finish my lavash bread, it is very nice (not round, but very nice), I had it with onions and red pepers. The berenjenas (eggplant) looks very nice, love from Chile 🇨🇱

Also, I just want to say how much I enjoy the shots of the city that are included in these videos. Obviously, the food is the focus but these added elements don’t go unnoticed or unappreciated!
Yes, please more recipes! Recipes with zucchini (courgettes) would also be great 😊! My family finds them boring but I’m pretty sure it‘s not the zucchinis’ fault! As always, thank you!
Love it, the eggplant, the sauce, perfection!! Fun fact we have a "kuchek" where they sing "Шак-Шак Шука, дюнера е тука", which translates to "Shak-shak shuka, the doner is here" :D

I planted two eggplant plants in my summer garden and I’m going to start another. Keep the eggplant recipes coming. I’m tuned in.
I would definitely appreciate more eggplant recipes. Eggplants are common around the world so we are always looking for new recipes to use them.

Lovely recipe 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland ♥️ Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
My favourite vegetable, we use a lot in the Middle East.
What a perfect recipe for summer! This looks like just the thing to pair with a nice grain salad for a refreshing and satisfying meal.
One of the most delicious Turkish eggplant recipes
Thanks for the chemistry lesson,too:))
Other than the delicious foods that you make, I love watching you talk and explain and make the food. You are funny and I love love love your Turkish accent.
In Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania and Congo we eat that with rice or Ugali!!
It looked yummy. Would like some more recipe using egg plant.
I am so enjoying your channel. I want to plan a trip to Turkey and get lessons. Or you all come here and I'll set up a big class in CA wine country!!
