Mıcırık aşı is a traditional dish originating from Gaziantep. This stew is usually prepared with a combination of eggplants, rice, onions, tomato paste, bell peppers, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, paprika, and mint. The onions and garlic are sautéed in olive oil, then mixed with the tomato paste and bell peppers that are fried in the same pot.

The mixture is covered with water, and the eggplants and rice are added to the pot. The dish is cooked until the rice becomes tender, and lemon juice is then mixed into the stew. Once served, mıcırık aşı is traditionally drizzled with the sauce consisting of olive oil, paprika, and mint.
