Eggplant stuffed with minced meat in tomato sauce. This very tasty eggplant recipe will surprise everyone and everyone will love it. Here you will find the list of ingredients for this extraordinary eggplant recipe.
Ingredient list:
Buy rather small aubergines - your casserole dish will determine how many aubergines you need - unfortunately I used 6 rather larger aubergines because I couldn't find any smaller ones in the store. In a Turkish shop you are most likely to find the small eggplants.
Filling:
500 g minced meat of your choice
100ml water or vegetable broth to deglaze
2 large onions
2 cloves garlic
2 chopped fresh tomatoes - rather large ones
1 green pepper in small cubes
1 red bell pepper, cut into small cubes
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp cumin (cumin)
1 tsp paprika powder
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
Sauce:
200 ml of tomato passata
300 ml water or vegetable broth
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tbsp tomato paste
You can use salt, pepper and the amount of other spices according to your own taste. I used vegetable oil to fry the aubergines. The oil should stand about 2 cm in the pan. Oil that is still in the pan after frying can be used to fry the onions and for the minced meat.
I hope you enjoy the recipe - and bon appétit
