Hünkârbeğendi, or simply beğendi (literally, 'the sultan liked it'), is an eggplant and lamb dish in Ottoman cuisine.
It is made from eggplant grilled until the skin is burned, giving it a smoky flavor. The eggplant is puréed, seasoned, and thickened with béchamel sauce. The mixture is then topped with cubes of sauteed or grilled lamb.[1]
