Description

The recipe won't take much time. Well, isn't this simple recipe of eggplants stuffed with minced meat and mushrooms wonderful? In my opinion, it's simply delightful. I really love preparing this dish for dinner because you don't really need to serve anything else with it—maybe just a light salad. Half an eggplant is enough to satisfy even an adult man; I myself can't get up from the table after such a hearty dinner. As for how delicious this dish is, I could talk about it for a long time, but you'll understand me better if you try making eggplants stuffed with minced meat and mushrooms at home. Serve hot.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Step 1

    First, we thoroughly wash the eggplant, cut off the stem end, and slice the eggplant in half lengthwise. Now take a spoon and very carefully remove the flesh, leaving about 1.5 cm on the edges.

    Step 2

    Step 2

    Place a pot of water over heat and, when it boils, add the eggplant flesh and cook for about 10–12 minutes. Then drain the eggplant in a colander and press it with a spoon to remove almost all the liquid.

    While the pulp is boiling, we place a frying pan on the stove and heat oil in it. Add the ground meat to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and fry until the meat changes color from pink to pale. During cooking, crush it as finely as possible with a spatula to avoid large chunks in the meat mixture. Transfer the cooked meat to a colander or sieve to drain off excess oil.
