Preparing the yogurt base<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Preheat the oven to <strong>200 \u00b0C (400 \u00b0F)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place the <strong>eggplants<\/strong> on a baking tray previously covered with foil. Using a knife or fork, make several punctures in the surface of each eggplant. This is to allow the steam that forms inside the vegetable during baking to escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bake the eggplants in the oven at <strong>200 \u00b0C (392 \u00b0F)<\/strong> for about <strong>55-60 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the eggplants are baking, take the <strong>yogurt<\/strong> and<strong> garlic (3-4 cloves)<\/strong>. Chop or grate the garlic finely and add it to the yogurt. Grating will give a strong and pungent flavor to the garlic, while it will be milder when finely chopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add <strong>1 tsp. of salt<\/strong> and mix the yogurt with the garlic and salt well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video autoplay controls loop muted src=\"https:\/\/bayevskitchen.s3.amazonaws.com\/2023\/10\/turkish-eggplant-dip\/turkish-eggplant-dip-1.mp4\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Completion of the dip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When the eggplants are ready, take them out of the oven and make a slit lengthwise so they cool faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the eggplants are cool, use a spoon to scoop out the flesh. If the eggplants have a lot of seeds, try to remove them so that the sauce is more tender and does not contain unnecessary &#8220;seeds&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chop the eggplant flesh finely with a knife. Add the eggplant flesh to the <strong>yogurt <\/strong>and mix well. Serve the sauce immediately or cover with clingfilm and put it in the fridge for an<strong> hour or two <\/strong>to allow the flavors to meld better and for it to solidify a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before serving, drizzle with olive oil to taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video autoplay controls loop muted src=\"https:\/\/bayevskitchen.s3.amazonaws.com\/2023\/10\/turkish-eggplant-dip\/turkish-eggplant-dip-2.mp4\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/bayevskitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/turkish-eggplant-dip-022-1024x1280.jpg\" alt=\"Turkish eggplant and yogurt dip on a platter with bread slices\" class=\"wp-image-90762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bayevskitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/turkish-eggplant-dip-022-1024x1280.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bayevskitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/turkish-eggplant-dip-022-360x450.jpg 360w, https:\/\/bayevskitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/turkish-eggplant-dip-022-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/bayevskitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/turkish-eggplant-dip-022-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bayevskitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/turkish-eggplant-dip-022-150x188.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bayevskitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/turkish-eggplant-dip-022.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq\">&#x1f64b;&#x200d;&#x2642;&#xfe0f; FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1698347255261\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What type of eggplant is best for this recipe?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Any variety of eggplant works, but the large, globe type is commonly used for its meaty texture. Smaller varieties can also be used; they tend to have a sweeter flavor.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1698347272778\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How can I prevent the yogurt from becoming watery in the dip?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Use thick, strained yogurt like Greek yogurt, and make sure to drain the cooked eggplant well. Also, avoid over-mixing the yogurt, as it can become thinner.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1698347274262\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I make this dip in advance?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, you can prepare the dip a day in advance. Keep it refrigerated and stir well before serving. The flavors often develop and improve when left to sit.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1698347354747\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is peeling the eggplant necessary?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not strictly necessary but recommended. Peeling reduces bitterness and results in a smoother texture for the dip.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1698347356697\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I use roasted garlic instead of raw garlic in the recipe?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Absolutely! Roasted garlic will give a milder, sweeter taste compared to the sharpness of raw garlic.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1698347469019\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How long can I store the eggplant and yogurt dip in the fridge?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The dip can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1698347471383\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I bake the eggplant instead of grilling or broiling it?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, you can bake the eggplant at a high temperature until it\u2019s soft and the skin is slightly charred. This method might take longer but still yields a great flavor.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1698347564456\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What can I use as a substitute for yogurt in this recipe?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>For a dairy-free version, you can use coconut yogurt or another plant-based yogurt alternative. The taste will differ but it\u2019ll still be delicious.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1698348162995\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What are the best ways to serve this eggplant and yogurt dip?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It\u2019s commonly served as an appetizer or side dish with pita bread, crackers, or raw vegetables. It also works well as a spread in sandwiches or wraps.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1698348164354\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I add other spices to the dip?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with spices like cumin, paprika, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for some heat.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1698348217402\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is this dip gluten-free?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, this dip is naturally gluten-free. Just ensure that any accompaniments like bread or crackers are also gluten-free if serving to someone with gluten sensitivities.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1698348219126\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I freeze this eggplant and yogurt dip?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Freezing is not recommended as it can affect the texture and consistency of the yogurt. It&#8217;s best enjoyed fresh or stored in the fridge for a few days.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1698348288771\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is there a way to make this recipe vegan?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>To make it vegan, replace the yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative. Be aware this will alter the taste slightly.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1698348340880\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How can I thicken the dip if it&#8217;s too runny?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If the dip is too runny, you can strain it through a cheesecloth or add more mashed eggplant to achieve a thicker consistency.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1698348444471\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I add lemon juice to this recipe?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>A squeeze of lemon juice can be a great addition, adding a bright, fresh flavor to the dip.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p
