HUNKAR BEGENDI (TURKISH EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) CREAM)
This literally translates as 'the Sultan's Delight', and it is that! The first time I had it, I fell in love. Mild, rich, buttery - it perfectly complemented the braised beef (in tomato sauce) that it was meant to accompany. This is a very subtle dish. If you want FLAVOUR, look elsewhere. This is flavourful in a more refined way, and also a lesson to our overly-spiced palates.

Steps:
- Grill eggplants whole without peeling them by holding over a flame and turning slowly, or prick skin in several places and set in hot oven.
- When the skin begins to break and the inside pulp feels soft, slip off the skin; discard sacs containing seeds and chop up pulp; put pulp in a saucepan.
- Mix lemon juice with pulp and simmer until very soft, stirring often (10-15 minutes).
- Meanwhile, melt butter, add flour to it and allow flour to brown.
- Beat the butter and flour mixture into the eggplant.
- Slowly add several tablespoons of hot milk and the nutmeg and continue beating until mixture resembles mashed potatoes.
- Lastly add several tablespoons of grated cheese and cook several minutes more.
- Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Stew: Fry the onion in the oil till soft. Add meat and brown. Add garlic and cook for a few seconds longer.
- Add tomatoes, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Add water to cover and simmer with the lid on for about 1 or 1 1/2 hours, till meat is very tender.
- If necessary, add more water or let the sauce reduce a bit to get a good saucy consistency.
- Eggplant Sauce: Prick eggplants all over and roast in a very hot oven (500 degrees or as hot as your oven goes) for 30 minutes, until eggplants soften and skin chars. Cool and peel carefully.
- Put lemon juice in a bowl of water and put peelec eggplants in acidified water to keep them white.
- Melt butter in saucepan, add flour and stiur over very low heat for 2 minutes or until well-blended. Remove from the heat and add milk gradually, beating vigorously. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Cook ove rlow heat for 15 minutes, until sauce thickens.
- Drain the eggplants in a colander and squeeze out as much water and juice as possible. Chop in the colander and mash with a fork (I think this step is meant to allow additional drainage).
- Mix with the milk sauce until well blended. Return to the heat, add grated cheese, stir until melted and add more salt and pepper if necessary.
- Serve the stew with the eggplant cream in a ring around it. Serve with rice.
