Sezamo
Clasic mediteranean cu vinete fragede coapte la cuptor, umplute cu ceapă dulce caramelizată, roșii suculente, usturoi și ierburi proaspete. O mâncare reconfortantă de vară, aromată și plină de savoare.
Preparation method
Preparing the vegetables
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Wash the eggplants, trim the stems partially, and peel the skin in longitudinal strips (zebra style). Make a deep slit lengthwise in each eggplant, without cutting all the way through.
Place the eggplants in a baking dish, brush them generously with half of the extra virgin olive oil, and season with a little sea salt. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the flesh softens slightly.
Preparing the flavorful filling
Meanwhile, thinly slice the yellow onions, finely mince the garlic cloves, and dice the tomatoes into small cubes.
Chef's tip
Imam Bayildi is even more delicious the next day, after all the Mediterranean flavors have infused together perfectly.
For an authentic Greek touch, you can add diced feta cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
