I love eggplants. Since my mom is allergic to it, our family avoids it at home for my mom's sake. :) So now that I am on vacation, I decided I should treat myself a delightful eggplant meal. :D
Mike got home this pack of lean lamb meat, so I figured I'd stuff them in the eggplant. Lamb is also one of my favorite meats. I especially love the unique lamb flavor. :)
I have made enough to serve 3 people. :)
Ingredients:
3 eggplants
a large onion
a bunch of button mushrooms
a bunch of tomatoes
a bunch of cilantro
a bit of garlic
a pack of mutton
a handful of love :D
salt and pepper to taste
How to cook it:
- chop onions and garlics into fine bits
- chop the tomatoes, cilantro and mushrooms into chunks
- brown the onions and garlics in olive oil, then mix in the meat together in pan
- throw in the tomatoes and mushrooms and mix with the meat mixture
- while the above is cooking in the pan, hollow out some of the eggplant meat to form a bowl shape for holding the mixture later.
- throw in the egg plant meat in the pan too. We don't want to waste anything here
- throw in cilantro just before turning off the heat
- season it with some freshly grounded pepper (since we don't really eat salt anymore, but you can add some salt to taste of course)
- when all is mixed and 80% cooked, scoop the meat mixture into the eggplant bowls
- place the eggplants into baking dish and pour water or beef/chicken stock with a bit of olive oil which almost covers the eggplants.
- cover the food in tin foil and bake for 45 minutes to an hour until the eggplants soak up the stock and tenderized.
- Serve on plate with forks!
