Notes

  1. Preheat the oven before you bake the eggplants. This is a very important point.
  2. If you are vegetarian, you can cook the filling with butter and olive oil for a richer flavor.
  3. If you are vegetarian, you can melt some gouda or turkish kashkaval cheese on top, but it's not part of the original recipe.
  4. If you fry the eggplants in oil instead of baking them in the oven, you will achieve a richer flavor.
