• 2-3 clove of garlic (optional)

Eggplants:

Cut the eggplants in half, lengthwise. Use spoon or knife to scoop out the seeds and pulp. Add salt and leave it for 15 minutes.

Stuffing:

Chop the pulp of eggplants and salt it, leave for 15 minutes. Finely chop onion and garlic and stew it, add minced meat and stew for another 10 minutes. Mix stewed onion, garlic and meat with pulp of eggplants and chopped tomato.

Stuff the eggplant’s base with obtained meat-vegetable mixture.

Grate cheese over the stuffed eggplants. (If you prefer fatty food, smear eggplants with mayonnaise before adding cheese). Place eggplants in a pan. Pour some water into the pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 180C.
