I would have tried such an appetizer, but somehow there were no white eggplants on sale.
It seems to me that the appetizer is quite tender.

Gala, in Turkey the dish is prepared from the most common dark-fruited "blue" eggplants. I just didn't have one and I made it from white. In general, the color of the eggplant does not affect the taste, both options are good.

Then, for now, from the usual it is necessary to make. And I have long wanted to try white, and it seems to me that there is still a difference in taste between them.

not everyone can note such nuances of taste, especially in such a composition where garlic and pepper are present. Yes, there is, and it still differs from variety to variety of whites, but blue ones are considered more useful due to the presence of anthocyanins.

an interesting recipe, I haven't tried eggplants with yogurt yet, I'm sure it will be delicious) thanks
Corsica
kavmins, to your health! The combination of ingredients is unusual, but it really tastes good. On the plus side, I would also include cooking eggplant without oil.

Forgive me Corsica, a free interpretation, but I did it with mayonnaise (with yogurt on the river bank it was difficult)) eggplants were baked on a fire, mmm .. the aroma is haze by the way, the next day, after cooling, it is no less tasty
Corsica
Katko, thanks for the tip! I am glad that you liked the dish, despite the changes.

We usually cook Odessa-style eggplant caviar and pineapples.
