Turkish Eggplant Shakshuka - Vegan Meze with Fried Eggplants & Chilies

The word shakshuka usually refers to a Middle Eastern / North African egg dish, but in Turkey, shakshuka or as we call it "şakşuka" is a vegan meze dish cooked in olive oil and usually served with drinks and made with eggplants.
This is one of the easiest and but surprisingly delicious meze dishes and the ingredients may vary from region to region, but eggplant is usually the main vegetable. In some regions it is made with green tomatoes and some versions includes potatos or zucchinis.

Possibly one of the most popular mezes in Turkey, şakşuka being a appetizer, it can also be enjoyed as an incredibly delicious vegan meal on its own.
