Addictive Turkish Eggplant and Ground Beef Recipe - Patlican Tiridi

This is one my favorite dishes and is truly addictive as it’s easy and full flavors. Tirit, (adopted from Persian language, word “tarid / thareed“ referring to dishes made with meat, stock and stale breads, are made throughout Anatolia and there are tens of different versions in each region of Turkiye. Traditionally, tirit dishes are made with stale bread to avoid waste and make the most out of the left over ingredients in the kitchen. This version from the city of Konya (Konya Patlıcan Tiridi) is made with fried eggplants and mildly spiced minced meat cooked with tomatoes, are served with garlic yogurt and toasted (stale) bread, which soaks up all the flavors.
