EGGPLANT "IMAM BAILDI"
An Imam is a Muslim religious leader. "Baildi" means fainted in Tourkish. The story has it that one day he came home from work and his wife had made this dish. He liked it so much that he gobbled it up so fast, he fainted. lol This is a Tourkish dish and brought to Greece in 1912 when the greek population was turned away. Ever...

Steps:
- 1. Rinse the eggplants thoroughly and cut off a slice from one end. Leave the stem. Give them a zebra-like appearance by peeling stripes (one white stripe-one purple stripe). Score them lengthwise on one side only. Widen the slit in the middle section to give the eggplants a boat like appearance.
- 2. Soak them in a bowl filled with slightly salted water and leave them for 30min until opened up and soft. This will help to lessen the bitterness.
- 3. Score crosswise the skin of the tomatoes on the top and peel it off by immersing them in boiled water for a few seconds. Cut them in the middle and deseed them with a spoon. Then chop them finely with a sharp knife. Cut the onions in thin slices and chop the garlic cloves finely. Place them in a bowl, add the tomatoes, parsley, salt, pepper and sugar. Combine everything well.
- 4. Remove the eggplant from the salted water, squeeze them well and fill the wide slit in their middle with the tomato mix. Pour the remaining tomato over. In the meantime, make sure you preheat the oven to 375*F.
- 5. Place them in a baking pan, one alongside the other, and sprinkle them with the lemon juice, olive oil and 1 cup of water. Cover the pan with a sheet of greaseproof paper and put a lid on, or just use tin foil to seal the top.
- 6. Alternatively bake them in a clay-pot. Bake them for 45minutes to 1h to reduce all liquid. Uncover towards the end of baking time. Serve hot or cold
- 7. I sprinkle with grated feta cheese just before they're done. This dish can be served warm or at room temperature with a piece of feta cheese on the side.
- 8. Note: In the authentic recipe the tomato, onion,garlic & parsley sauteed in olive oil and then added to the eggplant widen slit and then baked in the oven. My family prefers not to sautee. Either way it's delicious.

Steps:
- Wash the eggplants, cut the ends and make a big long cut for the filling.
- Grease the eggplants with 1 tablespoon of oil and grill them in a big baking mold under the grill of your oven. Turn it occasionally until they change the color everywhere.
- In the meanwhile (but keep an eye to the eggplants!) fry the onions in the remaining oil, when they are soft add the garlic and fry 3 more minutes.
- Add the half of the tomatoes, parsley, pepper and adjust the salt to your taste.
- Fill the eggplant in the baking mold with the onions mix, but let at least 3 tablespoons in the frying pan.
- Adjust on every eggplant one piece of feta.
- Arrange the potatoes (if used) around the eggplants.
- Add the remaining tomatoes to the onion in the pan. Add some salt (about 1/2 teaspoon) and cover your eggplants and potatoes with this tomatoes sauce.
- Bake about one hour at 170-180°C or until the potatoes are ready (heat and timing are basing it on convection oven). From time to time check if it is not drying to much, if necessary add 1/2 cup of water or white wine.

IMAM BAILDI AKA STUFFED EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE)
The mediteranean deli down the street makes the most awesome eggplant. After asking for help on the boards, I finally discovered its Turkish and/or Greek name. This recipe is from El Cafe Griego - it sounds the closest to all I've looked at. I can't wait to try it.

Steps:
- Cut the stalks off the eggplants and rinse them. Using a sharp knife, slit them lengthwise on one side only, making sure you do not slit all the way through. They should open like a wallet, so you can put the stuffing in the opening. Shallow-fry them gently all around in 4 tablespoons olive oil. If not enough you can add some more oil in the frying pan. Take out and arrange side by side in a small oven dish and season them. Put the rest of the olive oil in a saucepan and sautee the onions and garlic in it until they are slightly golden. Add fresh tomatoes and half a cupful of water. Season. Add the oregano and sugar and cook gently, covered, for 15 minutes. With a spoon, fill the eggplants with this stuffing, opening them slightly. They should be quite soft by now. Virtually pile the stuffing in them, filling them generously. Normally they generate enough juices on their own so no addition of liquid is necessary in the oven dish. Cook in a pre-heated oven, gas no. 4 (350 grades F/180 grades C), for 4O minutes; baste them once during cooking.
