My friend Ayfer Ünsal is a self-assured cook whose recipes often tread the culinary edge. She has an uncanny knack for discovering some of the most interesting and delectable Turkish dishes. Here she uses dried eggplants and peppers, which probably don’t sound very appealing, but which, after rehydration and cooking, render one of the best stuffed vegetable dishes you’ll ever eat.
Serve warm with a bowl of yogurt and garlic sauce.
