I first tasted it in a tiny Istanbul meyhane where the chef mashed the vegetables tableside, whispering, “Eggplant and potato are lovers in disguise.” One bite of the purple-flecked mash proved him right: creamy, earthy, kissed with lemon and a swirl of olive oil, it tasted like the city’s sunset in edible form.
In the hot summer, eggplant with potatoes, but how to make it more delicious? Today I will teach you a trick. If you like it, please take a look
Roasted eggplant brings fiber and nasunin, an antioxidant that gives it that gorgeous purple hue while protecting brain cells. Potatoes add potassium and slow-burn carbs for steady energy. A drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, and a hit of garlic and parsley punches up vitamin C and allicin for immune support. The whole bowl lands at 180 calories yet feels like a feast.
Ideal for anyone craving comfort without heaviness—vegans, flexitarians, or post-workout snackers. If nightshades trigger inflammation, swap potatoes for cauliflower and keep the eggplant; low-oil eaters can use aquafaba for creaminess instead of olive oil.
