A classic meze of lightly fried eggplant, zucchini, and peppers tossed in tomato sauce flavored with olive oil. Serve at room temperature as a colorful, hearty addition to a meze spread.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Fry the vegetables

20 min

Lightly fry the salted and drained eggplant, zucchini, and pepper separately in olive oil, then drain them. Caution: Do not use too much oil; excess oil makes the dish heavy.

2

Make the tomato sauce

10 min

Lightly sauté the garlic in the remaining oil, add the grated tomato and salt, and cook over low heat.

3

Combine the vegetables and sauce

8 min

Add the fried vegetables to the tomato sauce and simmer for a few minutes so the flavors meld.

4

Cool and serve

5 min

Remove from the heat and let the dish cool to room temperature. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Reminder

Important: Do not use too much oil to fry the vegetables; excess oil makes the dish heavy and increases its oil content. Salting the eggplant and letting it rest for 10 minutes can reduce bitterness. Allergen: the basic recipe contains no common allergens.
