  • How do you make eggplant with tomatoes, ground meat, and cheese?
    1. Wash the eggplants and cut them in half lengthwise. Score the cut surface all over with a knife, and make a few slits in the skin on the outside too.
    1. Put the prepared halves in a bowl of salted water to soak while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
    1. Peel the onion, chop it as finely as you can, then fry it in vegetable oil (about 20 ml) until soft and translucent.
    1. Meanwhile, wash the tomatoes and cut them into wedges. Add them to the skillet with the onion, along with the ground meat, and cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring now and then.
    1. Peel and press the garlic, and chop the parsley. Stir the garlic paste and chopped parsley into the meat, season with salt and pepper to taste, mix, and transfer to a bowl.
    1. Rinse the eggplants under running water and pat them dry. Fry them in the remaining oil, cut side down, for about 3 minutes over high heat — the cut side should brown well.
    1. Then flip them skin side down and top the cut side with the meat-and-vegetable filling. Cover the pan and cook for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with grated cheese, cover again, and cook another 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve hot.
  • Enjoy!
  • Every oil is good only up to a certain temperature — its smoke point, beyond which it starts to burn and forms harmful compounds, including carcinogens. For how to gauge frying temperature, pick the best oil for the job, and which oils to skip entirely, read more here.
  • Since everyone's tolerance for salty, sweet, bitter, spicy, sour, and hot is different, always add spices and seasonings to your own taste! If you're trying a seasoning for the first time, keep in mind that some are especially easy to overdo (chili pepper, for example).
  • Tip: the wrong pan can ruin even the best recipe. For all the details on choosing the perfect skillet for different dishes, read more here.
