Eggplants with minced meat in a pan
Description
Actually, I like this eggplant with minced meat skillet recipe for its versatility. If, say, you're short on time and absolutely starving, you don't need to bother with layers—just fry everything together; it will still taste delicious! Or you can simmer it on the stove over low heat—it will turn out a bit crumbly, but still like a casserole. Of course, the dish will look most attractive if baked in the oven, but you always have a choice.

3. Now grease the frying pan with oil, place half of the eggplants in it. Then add the prepared minced meat, and on top – the remaining eggplants. Pour sour cream over the top, sprinkle with spices, and simmer covered until fully cooked, carefully flipping once or twice if needed.
