  • Trim the stems off clean eggplants and slice them in half lengthwise, salt them, and let them sit for about half an hour. Then squeeze them lightly and fry them in butter in a cast-iron skillet. Cook the tomatoes and push them through a sieve. Meanwhile, simmer the meat in a small saucepan; once it's done, let it cool, run it through a meat grinder, and fry the ground meat in butter with finely chopped onion, then season with salt and pepper. Take your largest pot and layer everything in: first the eggplant, then all the various finely chopped herbs mashed together with garlic pressed through a garlic press. Spread the meat on top, cover with another layer of eggplant, sprinkle again with herbs, and top with the puréed tomatoes. Set the pot over low heat and simmer for about fifteen minutes. Eggplant with boiled meat in tomato sauce is equally good warm or cold. This is one of the recipes a longtime gardener shared with me. It's usually made with eggplant fresh from the garden, but store-bought eggplant works phenomenally well too — it wins over fans of simple home cooking and even the most demanding gourmets.
