Stuffed Eggplant Karniyarik is one of the traditional, best known and favorite Turkish dish of all time. It is irresistible with the combination of ingredients and the presentation. Best served with fluffy Turkish style pilaf.
They translate word "Karniyarik" as split belly. Karın means belly and "yarık" means splitted. I am really excited to share this traditional Turkish recipe with you..
