Turkish Stuffed Eggplants - How to make Karniyarik
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.พ. 2025
- Today's dish is Karniyarik which means "split belly" in Turkish and as you may guess, these fried eggplants are cut and stuffed with a ragout like, rich ground beef mixture with spicy, aromatic onions, chilies and tomatoes. Finished in the oven with a tomato chili sauce, this dish is one of the favorites of many Turkish people and is usually served with (pilav) Turkish rice and cacik (yogurt with garlic, herbs and cucumber).
Hope you enjoy this 4K ASMR video with a detailed, step by step recipe of this classic vegetable soup from Turkey!

As a Turk, a small trick I want to share. Aubergines soak too much oil, oil makes them tasty, especially good olive oil but if it was too oily it would be too heavy and it even disturbs ones intestines. So, we either fry the aubergines in little olive oil or brush them with oil and bake them. Karnıyarık from grilled Aubergines also very tasty. Today airfryers also helpful to bake them fastly. Use olive oil and lambs meat, fry the peppers at olive oil first and use that oil to roast the meat and the other vegetables, add a little butter on top of karnıyarık before baking it, since it is a meat dish butter makes good. Use a lot of onions because onions make it good. I don't advise deep frying as they fried in this Video. They soak too much oil. It is a dish with a lot of oil but the aubergines should not float on top of the oil. Do not reduce the amount of the oil going to the dish, taste is partially belong to that oil but aubergines should not be soaked with oil at any cost. In old times grannies were frying them in a good amount of oil but they had not airfryers, technological ovens or non stick pans available for them 😉
How about if I steam the eggplant first? Then do the roasting later on just before serving? It will absorb less oil.
@@Arugula100 it can be done I believe. I have made it by grilling the eggplant and my mother almost always bake it. Steaming would result a similar texture so you should try it. It may be too watery but, at the end one must fill the eggplant with minced meat mixture and bake(or cook on stove in a Pan ) it, in this process the broth and sauces of the mixture would infuse into the eggplant, so I don't think there would be a problem. Deep frying, however absorbs too much oil, whether the oil is hot or not
Fantastic suppliment to this brilliant video - thank you so much for the detailed explanation 🎉
Nope, do not roast, it will not karniyarik but anything else. If you are afraid of oil absorption, keep it in salt water. The specific gravity of oil is lower than water, so it cannot replace water in eggplants. But i suggest as a Turk, i must say that, as Stuart Hamm said, "If You're Scared, Stay Home!"
@@obenobi it does work, actually. The taste is not much different however it became lighter when it got roasted. Grease it with olive oil and roast it, it makes perfect. And if there are embers, roast them on embers, it is better. It can be a matter of taste, of course. And fried ones can be tasty too, but fried and oil soaked ones are just super heavy and not tasty to my palate. Also, when deep frying, using olive oil is stupid because of its price, but olive oil makes it tastier, so using an airfryer or oven is better in my opinion. Have never used an airfryer for karnıyarık, but used oven a lot. It is good. Perhaps i am accustomed to oven roasted ones, my mother never Fries eggplants for karniyarik or peppers for dolma 😅
I made this yesterday. My husband said he was planning on divorcing me but changed his mind after this meal. Gutted!!!
🙏
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh I would have let him go..
@@Vista-gn1pbMe too! And eat his serving myself! 😃
I just had it for lunch - it was DELICIOUS!!! 😋
(I made it in the airfryer and had some garlic yogurt on top)
Im persian but i gotta say Turkish food is really some of the best food in the world
👍🔥
The only fault of turkish cuisine is lack of advertisement. Otherwise turkish cuisine would be one of the famous cuisines of the world. Like indian, italian and french cuisines
Nope it's not
After Mexican food, Turkish is on my second spot 😉
Persian food is delightful so, from a persian it is a huge compliment . ( that turkish cuisine deserves totally). I am French and they are among my favorite cuisines.
Omg i am turkish and i have to say this recipe is really authentic and original. Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻 you should serve this with turkish "cacık" and "pilav". And for who want to make this little bit healthier, you can brush eggplants with olive oil and cook in the oven. Love from turkiye everyone ☺️❤🇹🇷
Ps and fun fact: karnıyarık means ripped belly in turkish 😅
He already indicated all the informations you gave in the description part. You didn't have to put all the effort to a comment like this :)
Btw, Im Turkish aswell and this recipe is like 10/10. Just like the way our mothers do this. But not without a pilav, eating karnıyarık without pilav is a sin. Greetings from Istanbul.
@@dpDenizParlak didnt see, doesnt matter :)
Merak etmeyin, video sonrasinda pilav ve cacik ile goturuldu 🙂
@@HungryManKitchen oooh afiyet olsun ☺️❤
Is this a famous dish in Turkey? It looks delicious, cheers from Italy
Karnıyarık + pilav + cacık =amazing combination
Plus tea and kunefe as a dessert !
Daha bugun yedim. Cacik yerine yogurt vardi sadece😉
Biz hep böyle üçü bir arada yerdik ailece 😢❤
karnıyarık ve cacık mı? yanına pilav ve koyu kıvamlı ayran. cacıktaki salatalık çok farklı bir tat ve bozar.
@@whQQps Cacıktaki salatalık tadı arşa çıkartır hele bir de sarımsaklı cacık. Ayran gitmez, ağır ve tuzlu kaçar.
BRAVO!! No circle jerk editing, no stupid sound effects, no obsessive selfie action, no acting like a cartoon in your vid.... Refreshing to see this style of content once again. That meme humor sh*t has taken over modern cooking content.
Thank you! Glad you found the channel and enjoyed the content! I was under the impression that most of the people prefer the "funny" type of cooking videos. Much appreciated!
@@HungryManKitchen For certain. New sub as well. I come for techniques and ideas. If I want to watch an episode of Beavis and Butthead I can look it up on a different channel. Chef John knows how to add humor without turning his content into an episode of Merry Melodies.
I digress... Sometimes less is more.
For those who want to go for a lighter version, you can also bake the eggplants in the oven and skip the oil in the sauce. Karniyarik is usually paired with Turkish rice pilaf (th-cam.com/video/_GrSbCwn5qQ/w-d-xo.html) which soaks the flavors from the sauce and oil and also accompanied by cacik (Turkish yogurt cucumber side dish) which balances the flavors with it's freshness and slight acidity.
Does that mean you double bake the eggplant if you don't want to fry?
I baked my eggplant.
@@kelly01212 YES. I baked my eggplant after I split it for 30 minutes at 400 F. Stuffed it & baked it again at 400F for 30-40 minutes. Just to make sure the eggplant was cooked thoroughly.
@@l.aspecial5217 Where are YOU from...???
Very useful info👍
Tried this recipe last night, turned out delicious! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!!
I love all your recipes! Your rustic bread is the only way I'll make it anymore, because whenever I say I'm going to bake bread, people beg, "Please make THAT one!" - and every other dish I've tried from your channel has been fun, easy to cook, and absolutely delicious. Thank you for introducing me to new ways of cooking + thinking about vegetables, legumes, grains, and spices!
Hungry Man, I just discovered your channel and it makes me very happy! I lived in Istanbul for many years and I miss it so much. Your cooking is very classic and home-style. I have found so many of my favorite dishes on your channel. The format of the videos is clear - I like the calming music, the sizzling sounds of cooking, and the absence of chatter. Thank you for all of your time and effort to share your country's cuisine with the world. I'm very grateful!
This is exactly how my mother in law taught me 🥰 now I make it for my husband and myself we love it 🇹🇷
I'm Ukrainian, but I like very much Turkish recipes, it's very delicious
I tried this recipe yesterday and it was so delicious. My girlfriend loved it also.
Thanks, glad you like it. Next time try it with Turkish rice pilaf 😉
@@HungryManKitchen u mean pilav
Your girlfriend is lucky
I made this last night. Omg this recipe is absolutely amazing!!! I will definitely be making this again and again ❤️.
Enjoy your meal 🙂🙂 I'm Turkish and my mom makes this dish amazing. İf you want to eat from the hand of a turk, I can host you in our house🤚🤚🙂
100% real, original Turkish recipe. Ty for sharing
In southern Italy (I'm from Puglia) there is a traditional recipe very very similar to this one. It's wonderful to discover that we share the same cultural roots.
It is indeed, thank you!
Because according to latest genetically researches not just same cultural roots we are relatives too 😉
@@osuzmetas This is quite true. Puglia is in southern Italy, part of Magna Grecia where the Mycenaeans settled. The same is true, particularly in Western Anatolia. The turkic people invaded and imposed their languange, religion etc upon the locals of that region of Anatolia much later. This particular recipe is attributed to the local Anatolians
@@notmyfirstrodeo2670 absolutely yes. I come from Taranto, which was the capital of Magna Graecia. Over the centuries we have had contact with many different populations and each of them has left something (language, architecture, traditions, recipes, etc...) in our history. We from Taranto love and are proud of our origins.
@@osuzmetas every population that lived on the Mediterranean is directly related. We are all one great people. If only we understood that there are more things we have in common than what divides us...
You did it again HM! My husband loved it, I followed the simple preparation and it turned out looking exactly like you made it! Thank you so much can’t wait for more recipes from you!
In turkish we have a saying like; there is aubergine in every most delicious meal. My wife is Welsh, she wasnt in to aubergine at all but she and all my friends from around the world loves any aubergine dish that I cooked. I would highly recommend turkish dishes which contains aubergine
My favorite Turkish food. I love eggplants
Watching this is so relaxing. I wish I hadn't watched it with an empty stomach.... it's making me really hungry.
This karniyarik, some hot steamy pilav and some freezing cold extra garlicy cacık, absolutely killer combination 👌
It is my favourite home dish. You cooked very well. It can be baked in oven but eggplant is a very delicate vegetable, it darkens quickly at low temperatures and does not get tasty like fried ones. In oven ,you should cook at max temp with fan, but it does not get white creamy like fried one.
My mom makes this with rice. It’s a killer combo 😋
It's "imambayıldı" if made with rice
I've had this before, but I don't think I realized it was Turkish. It was really good, and now seeing your version makes me want it again!
This is one of the classic dishes in Turkey, try it with rice and cacik (Turkish tzatziki) ;)
This isn't Turkish this is an Armenian dish Karniyarik or Karni yerek. Karni is the ancient temple of the Armenian God of Fire Vahagn built before 301a.d. yarik means the mouth of a beast. The eggplant is supposed to be peeled in stripes to symbolize the columns of the remple and the yarik or yareck is where the fire comes out from which is the meat. Bon appetite and give thanks to the God because it is his power and strength you are consuming 🙏
@@Amuratas How are you so sure?
The fanatics always invent such fairy tales. Karniyarik is a Turkish word meaning slit belly (in this case, slit eggplant). Karnı = belly, yarık = slit. Very bad that Armenians can't get rid of their psychosis and Turkophobia.
@@rcangs I'm sorry for your anger, but I am not armenian however I have extensive knowledge of history, and Karni is a remple predating Christianity in armenia that is 301 a.d. still standing and open to publick. Please stop your egerness to engage in racist remark against another culture. No one here has insulted you and the turkish people, we are talking about food, and if you know history then it is obvious who took what from whom.
Delicious over rice pilaf! I try to use Italian eggplant when making this dish, but they are very hard to find. They are less bitter and sweeter in taste! Looks amazing! Bravo!
En verdad no sabía está receta para preparar las berenjenas. Gracias por la información y enseñarme cómo prepararla. Se ve que tiene que quedar riquísima.
Turkish food is really, really delicious. I am surprised that it is not more popular and well known.
Italian kitchen: 50% good food, 50% representation in media
Greek kitchen: 80% good food, 20% representation in media
Turkish kitchen: 100% good food, 0% representation in media
@@yusufbayraktaroglu9450 I dont agree with you. Italian food is 100% good food. Fresh, simple and delicious.
@@anastasia10017 Don't get me wrong, it is very good food. But, branding of Italian food is so successful. So it is very well balanced as 50-50.

Yummy and delicious Stuffed Eggplants! Excellent recipe!
Thanks for watching!
Reminds me a lot of my Tayta's Baytenjen recipe. Beef, tomato paste, onion and egg plant... additionally pine nuts and Baharat and it's served on rice. Very tastey, one of my favourite Lebanese dishes... I've cooked it before, the only hard part is peeling, cutting and grilling or frying the eggplant (if you grill it you still need a lot of oil because of the dryness). I could not find her recipe online, it must be hundreds of years old !
Lovely dish pleasant to watch
Need to make them Thnks

I love these! I ate them when I used to work in a middle-east restaurant in London!
Albanian and Turkish people are very closed ❤❤❤❤
Lovely coking really mouthwatering and fantastic recipe must try 🤝🤝🤝💐💐💐
I went to the carnivore diet a year and a half ago for health purposes but I still cook for other people and have to say I'm making this for my mom lol.
She eats everything that is in it and will love it, as would I if I wasn't allergic to quite literally everything but meat salt and water lol.
That looks amazing, I can't wait to make it.
Look at the recipe of "İmam bayıldı" (=the muslim cleric/pastor fainted 😅)
It's the meatless version, and better with olive oil.
These two dishes have variants where if you re dieting you can skip frying and just fill the eggplants and cook it on stovetop, or just cook eggplants in the oven a bit and fill the ingredients in and then finish the cooking in the oven etc...
But fried one is the best, obviously.
Edit: oh I misunderstood, thought you were allergic to meat😅. Sorry. Anyways, maybe your mom would like it. 😅 Sorry again
Wow amazing looks so delicious thank you for sharing your wonderful recipe my new friend🙏❤👍😊😍
Must be delish! And what a lovely soundtrack!
Yummy 😋 mouth watering 😋
As a Turkish girl i prefer to cook in oven , roasted version isn't irritate my stomach also less calories and still delicious 😋
I was wondering if you could skip frying. I would probably stuff with diced vegetables too. Looks awesome.
Hey can you please tell me how long I should put the eggplant in the over and can I ommit that much oil from the sauce? It will irritate my stomach x
@@batgirlp5561 you can also do in airfrier if you have.
you could fry in less oil like 3 tablespoons in low heat and cover the pan
@@batgirlp5561 look up to imam bayıldı. That's what you're looking for

Hi, I am from Maharashatra, one of the state in India. We have a similar recipe called 'stuffed Eggplants'. We use mixture of freshly grated coconut, ground nut powder and different indian spices as a stuffing. It tastes yum. If you are a non vegetarian, you can use kheema as your stuffing.
