What it is
A dish of whole eggplants roasted or fried and then stuffed with a rich mixture of sautéed onions, tomatoes, garlic, and herbs, braised in olive oil. The traditional version can include rice, which must be omitted.
Key ingredients
Eggplant, onions, tomatoes, garlic, bell peppers (optional), olive oil, parsley, mint, salt, black pepper.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, ensure no rice is part of the stuffing. Be mindful of portion size as eggplant does have natural carbs; a large portion can add up.
If you order it anyway, say this (Armenian)
Իմամ Բայըլդիի միջուկի մեջ խնդրում եմ համոզվել, որ բրինձ չկա։
For the Imam Bayildi, please ensure no rice is part of the stuffing.
Watch out for
Rice in the stuffing; potential for hidden sugar in the tomato sauce (less common in Armenian versions but possible in some restaurants).
