There are several versions of the story behind the name of this dish, Imam Bayildi. Although the stories differ to some extent, they all have the same ending – the Imam faints because it is so delicious.  

We can easily say that this recipe is an homage to the eggplant season where simplicity meets delicacy. In parts of Anatolia where olives and olive oil are accepted as gold, braising vegetables in olive oil is a typical technique called “zeytinyagli”. At Neolokal, we celebrate the eggplant season in July and August. Imam Bayıldı is a perfect vegan option where the eggplant is first cooked with olive oil, tomato, onion, and garlic. We then Bake bread with the juice of this dish and serve the creamy textured eggplant with it, complemented by some dried eggplant nori and eggplant dust. 

You will benefit not only from the unique gifs of our recipes but the recipes for you to experience in your kitchen with the exclusive chance to practice the recipe with chef Maksut Askar in Neolokal’s kitchen or a live video where Chef Maksut Askar is your mentor in your kitchen on how to’s of the recipe that you earned.

If we do not protect our food culture, heritage, and traditions, the next generations to come will not have anything left in their hands.
 To guarantee our future, our traditions have to be adjusted to today's circumstances and become sustainable. The correct way for us to do this is to express our respect for the earth at every opportunity and to share this deep respect we feel with our guests, in a humble manner.

As Neolokal; we consider ourselves timeless. This gives us the opportunity to constantly renew ourselves as we continue our path and learning from our past which is our roots, traditions, and lost cultures, and preserve it for the future generations by presenting dishes from the past that will be accepted in the future.
