Vegetable boats from eggplants
Description
This is a classic recipe for eggplant boats. Preparing this dish is quite simple. All you need is: vegetables, ground meat, cheese, herbs, spices, and the desire to cook. I should note that you can use any kind of ground meat and any cheese. Use spices to your taste—I usually add dried Provence herbs and pepper. Good luck!
