Meat with eggplants in pots, baked in the oven
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Meat with eggplants baked in pots is simple, yet very tasty and filling. The meat turns out tender, and the eggplants keep their shape, remaining in pieces. You can add any spices to taste and finely chopped garlic. Use high-quality, full-fat sour cream; otherwise, it may curdle and spoil the flavor of the finished dish. The dish is ready to be served.
