Karnıyarık is a classic Turkish dish consisting of eggplants that are stuffed with a combination of ground meat (usually beef), tomatoes, and onions. The filling is typically seasoned only with salt and pepper, but garlic and parsley can also be added for extra flavor.

The stuffed eggplants are then baked in the oven, and the dish is traditionally served either warm or at room temperature. It is recommended to serve it with rice and yogurt on the side.
