Ingredients:

For: 4 People
Prep: 30 Min
Cook: 30 Min
Ingredients for Meal:
Eggplant 4   Qty
Liquid Oil 1   Tbsp
Ingredients for Stuffing Stuff:
Veal Cubes (Medium Fat) 400   Grams
Dry Onion (Medium size) 2   Head
Tomato 1   Qty
Butter (Or Oil) 1   Tbsp
Green Pointed Pepper 4   Qty
Fine Salt 1   Tsp (large)
Powdered Red Pepper 1   Qty
Black Pepper 1   Tsp
Cumin (Optional) 1   Tsp
Ingredients for Sauce:
Tomato Paste 1   Tbsp
Salt 1   Tsp

Steps:

  1. Peel the eggplants in various parts, rub them with salt and let them rest for 4-5 minutes. Leave it in plenty of salt water for 30 minutes. Take it out of the water, wash it, and dry it thoroughly with a paper towel.
  2. Pour 1-2 spoons of oil into a shallow pan. Put the eggplants in the pot and cook them using the sweating method, with the lid closed and turning them occasionally, until they become soft.
  3. For the stuffing, heat the oil and butter in a separate pot. Put the meat in a pot and sauté until it changes color.
  4. Peel the onions and chop them into cubes. Separate the seeds of the peppers and chop them into pieces. Peel the tomatoes and chop them.
  5. Add onions and peppers to the roasted meat and sauté together. When the onions soften, add the tomatoes and stir. Add salt and spices. Add 2 glasses of hot water to it. Close the lid and cook until the meat becomes soft.
  6. When the eggplants become soft (without frying), open them slightly with a fork and knife and place the cooked meat mixture on them. For the sauce, dilute the tomato paste with 2 glasses of hot water and pour it over the eggplants. If you wish, put 1 slice of tomato on them. Close the lid and let it sit on low heat for 10-15 minutes. The water should not be completely absorbed, some sauce should remain.
  7. Although this dish is originally cooked on the stove, you can also bake it at 175 degrees for 15-20 minutes. You can serve your cooked meal hot with rice or mashed potatoes. Enjoy your meal!
