Imam Bayildi

Whole eggplants roasted until they collapse, split open and filled with onion, garlic and tomato cooked down slowly in olive oil, then baked again in a thin tomato sauce. It is meant to be eaten at room temperature, which means it can be made hours ahead — and it is better the next day.
