In Egypt we call it eggplant with vinegar and garlic 😋 we but the garlic and after a minute or so we add the vinegar. And then we but the tomato 🍅 sauce .the smell of the garlic with vinegar is great and delicious 😋

[@carollyvers5154]

Until I found your channel, Turkey was not on my top 10 list of places to visit. Now it is #1! I love that Sara Moulton taught you something. Watching her taught me to cook long ago.

[@MarvInChatt]

0:21 this is proper English in the restaurant industry. It’s a simple marker that comforts me to know that halfway across the world, you all are my people! I’ve seen every single one of your English videos and greatly enjoy everybody on the channel. Cheers from North Carolina, USA!

Şakşuka is one of my favorite turkish dishes. Actually, I drive one hour to eat in a Turkish cafe here in Puerto Rico. This cafe is owned by a turkish guy who fell in love with a puertorrican woman. I love almost all dishes in that cafe. 😋 In other note, Refika, pink suits you!

[@elz222]

It looks delicious, in Spain we also eat eggplant cooked in many ways. Yes, please keep making videos with eggplant recipes. After watching today's, I will never put it in salted water before cooking it again. Thank you, Refika, for being so kind and so nice, I love your videos.

Refika, thank you... I discovered you early this evening and am now hooked on you wonderful cooking lessons.

[@2SaltyRecipes]

Egg plants are AWESOME. Eggplant salad its all you need. BUT always in need for more recipes

[@stefimandi186]

In my languagge we used to call eggplant "törökparadicsom", that means Turkish Tomato. In some fancy restaurants they still name it so. Here we mostly just slice it and bread-coat for deep frying - very poor indeed, I never do that with this wonderful vegetable. All my eggplant dishes are Turkish or Arabish recipes, modified some way to my taste and of course the available ingredients. Now we have mint, I dried some and when we have delicius fresh tomato, will try your shakshuka. Thank you for the recpe :-).

[@carmenqueasy]

Is that Hungarian? I had not heard about this before, thanks for that little food trivia and greetings from the UK ☺️

[@stefimandi186]

@@carmenqueasy yes, it is :-)

[@СпасЯнков-э2ч]

You make paprikash with eggplant right what other dishes?

[@stefimandi186]

@@СпасЯнков-э2ч Right, we cook paprikás. Saute some chopped white onion, season with salt and sweet red paprika powder. When the paprika paints the oil red, add the cubed eggplants and cook till soft. Serve with steamed rice or boiled potato. Not bad, but nothing near to those savoury eggplant dishes of the Mediterranean area and the Near East. We also make some bread spread, but not too many people: grill the whole eggplant till black. Remove the skin and blend the creamy flesh till smooth. Season with salt, pepper, garlic or onion. Some people add mayo. This spread is also quite good, but that's all 3 ways we can call "traditional". (the third is the breaded deep fry) And, not too many people. Here we should really add more eggplants to our diet. To do so, we must learn new recipes. Or just adopt some from those who really has large variety of eggplant recipes.

[@bemusedindian8571]

Finally eggplants. Thanks Refika. No cuisine does eggplants better than Turkish and I hope you go into more of this.

[@sandy-cd6zk]

Refika!!! Thank you so much for your beautiful recipes. I listen to all your videos, both in English and Turkish. I can understand & speak Turkish but can't write well...sorry. I lived in Istanbul for 12 years and my husband is from Turkey. Five of my eight children were born in Istanbul. Our family loves your recipes. I would love to meet you one day when we visit Istanbul again. My husband and I have a very large garden and we are growing many eggplant;, how can I freeze or preserve them? And more eggplant recipes please!

[@claireheberle4123]

Refika & Bahar’s malicious eye... thanks a lot for eggplants so delicious ! There is a fashion in Armenia (since 10 or 15 years I think) to dig ancient recipes & try them again... maybe it’s all over the world ? Do you have a ancien recipe (that you’d hear from in a village ?) I find those recipes interesting because usually you get to learn a lot about how people lived, got together, sang & danced... Thanks again for your videos I love them & my children know you too : when they ask where does the recipe come from: from my smile they say : Refikaaaaaa ;) ! 🤩

[@farac9332]

It will be awesome to share some of those ancient recipes with us

I think I want to visit Turkey! I absolutely love your content, your good cheer and quick pace are so refreshing. The 4K videos are stunning, great music choices, and a nice sense of humor. I've been cooking for more than 50 years, and I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. I never considered Turkish cuisine before, but my mouth is watering to try your recipes. I'm also enjoying how you have made this a family effort. Keep up the good work and excellent content.
