Karnıyarık (lit.'riven belly') is a Turkish dish[1] of eggplant stuffed with a mix of sautéed chopped onions, garlic, black pepper, tomatoes, optional green pepper, parsley, and ground meat.[2][3]

It is similar to İmam bayıldı, which does not include meat[1][4] and is served at room temperature or warm.[5] The eggplant is traditionally fried, though it can also be roasted.[6]

The dish is often served with rice.[7]
