Püf Noktaları
To achieve the best flavor in your Dalyan Style Stuffed Eggplants, choose fresh eggplants that are firm and glossy. Salting the eggplants before cooking helps eliminate bitterness and excess water, ensuring they maintain their structure after baking. Additionally, feel free to customize the stuffing by adding your favorite vegetables or spices for an even richer taste. Let the dish rest for a few minutes after baking for optimum flavor melding.
