Turkish Inspired Stuffed Eggplant
"Deep in its cultural heritage, Turkey offers not only thousands of years of history but also delicious, unique dishes to match. Among those cultural offerings is Beef Karniyarik, a very popular and traditional dish served in Turkish cuisine. With Karni meaning belly, and Yarik meaning split, the name refers to the way the eggplant is split down the middle and then stuffed. Trader Joe’s version of this Turkish-Inspired Stuffed Eggplant is roasted with olive oil, stuffed with savory seasoned ground beef and tomato sauce, topped with a slice of tomato and green pepper, then baked. The finished dish is complex and hearty, owing in no small amount to unique blend of herbs and spices including smoked paprika & fragrant mint. This Eggplant entrée makes a comforting but not-too-heavy meal that warms in minutes via a microwave or conventional oven with simple instructions! It also makes for a great side to a Middle-East inspired spread of Orzo Pilaf Rice Mix, Mediterranean Style Hummus, and Tzatziki Creamy Garlic Cucumber Dip."
