An interesting name and an equally interesting tale behind this simple, healthy vegetarian dish from Turkey. Basically it's a stuffed eggplant dish. The story goes like this- there was an Imam who was a great foodie and when he married a rich olive oil merchant's daughter, he was given big canisters of olive oil as gifts by the merchant. And everyday the new bride would prepare this tasty dish to him and one fine day it so happened that she did not make his favourite dish and when asked about the reason, she replied that there was no more oilve oil left and hearing this, the priest fainted. And thus, this dish got it's so called name and is a sought after dish with the Turkish people. Sounds interesting, right. Well, yes and not only is it healthy, but also very very delicious. Try this awesome veggie dish for your families and friends. Happy Baking !!!!!!
