INGREDIENTS<\/p>\n
4 medium brinjals<\/p>\n
2 onions, chopped<\/p>\n
2 tomatoes, seeded and diced<\/p>\n
2 potatoes, parboiled and cubed<\/p>\n
500g lean beef mince<\/p>\n
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon<\/p>\n
1 Tbsp dried oregano<\/p>\n
4 cloves of garlic, crushed<\/p>\n
salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n
olive oil<\/p>\n
parmesan cheese, for garnish<\/p>\n
METHOD<\/p>\n
Preheat oven to 200\u00b0C<\/p>\n
Cut brinjals in half and with a spoon, scoop out the flesh. Set the shells aside on a lined baking sheet.<\/p>\n
Heat a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pan. Add the garlic and onions and saut\u00e9 for 5 minutes. Add the minced meat and crumble with a fork while browning the meat. Add the diced potato and brinjal and cook for a few minutes longer. Add the cinnamon, oregano, salt and pepper. Simmer for 5-10 minutes.<\/p>\n
Fold the diced tomatoes into the meat and spoon the mixture into the hollowed brinjal shells to form a little dome in each one.<\/p>\n
Bake the stuffed brinjals for approximately 20-30 minutes.<\/p>\n
Sprinkle with some freshly grated parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n
