Here are the ingredients you'll need:
- 4 eggplants
- ½ kilogram of ground beef
- 1 finely chopped onion
- 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
- A pinch of cinnamon
- Salt, pepper, thyme, cumin, and sugar to taste
For the bechamel sauce:
- 50 grams of butter
- 50 grams of all-purpose flour
- 800 grams of milk
- 1 egg yolk
- 100 grams of grated gruyere cheese
- ? teaspoon of nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat your oven and start by washing the eggplants. Cut them lengthwise and make small cuts in the flesh with a knife. Place them on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, a touch of thyme, and a pinch of sugar. Bake them in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until they soften.
While waiting for the eggplants, start preparing the filling. Saute the ground beef in a saucepan with olive oil until browned. Then add the chopped onion, garlic, tomato paste, a pinch of sugar, a touch of cinnamon, and your preferred herbs and spices. Cook everything together until the flavors meld and the liquid evaporates.
For the bechamel sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes velvety. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the grated gruyere cheese, egg yolk, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Take the cooked eggplants and gently press down on the flesh with a spoon. Sprinkle them with grated gruyere cheese and then fill them with the cooked ground beef mixture. Once the bechamel sauce has cooled and thickened, spoon it over the eggplants, covering them completely. Sprinkle additional grated gruyere cheese on top.
Place the stuffed eggplants in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for approximately 40 minutes.
Enjoy the delightful flavors of these eggplant shoes as they transport you to a world of culinary magic!
