Stuffed aubergine

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
A meeting of the Turkish 'Karnıyarık' and Mediterranean flavours. The aubergine, as a natural 'dish', absorbs the spicy juices of the meat ragout. The most important step is preparing the aubergine: salting and roasting, which removes the bitterness and ensures a creamy texture before the filling is added. A light yet filling summer dish.

Instructions

1 ✓

Halve the aubergines, score the flesh (or scoop it out but keep the skin intact), salt it, and let it stand.

Tip: Salting draws out water, removing bitter compounds. Wipe off the moisture after 15 minutes.
2 ✓

Prepare the ragout: sauté the onion and garlic, then the minced meat. Add the diced aubergine flesh, pepper, tomatoes, and spices.

Tip: The ragout should be thick; cook away the liquid because it won't be able to evaporate once inside the aubergine.
3 ✓

Stir the cooked rice into the ragout, then fill the aubergine boats.

Tip: The rice absorbs the meat juices, keeping the flavours inside.
4 ✓

Sprinkle with cheese and bake at 180°C for approx. 30 minutes until the aubergine is tender and the cheese is browned.

Tip: Check the thickest part of the aubergine with a fork; if it's butter-soft, it's ready.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the aubergine skin tough?
Aubergine skin can be thick. If it bothers you, peel it in stripes (pyjama pattern) before roasting, or roast for longer.
