Serves 4-6
1/2lb ground beef
1.5C Chopped Onion
2Tbsp Butter
2tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/2tsp allspice
1/2tsp salt and pepper
1 minced clove garlic
2 Eggplant (medium sized)
1.Peel and cut the ends off of 2 eggplant. Cut in half and cut a 1.5in wedge out of the middle of each halved eggplant, take the wedges and roughly chop and add to step 2
2. In a large saute pan add butter, saute onions till soft with ground beef(cook to medium) ,chopped eggplant and minced garlic. Add in spices right before the meat becomes medium.
3. Take halved, wedged eggplant and broil in oven till toasted brown on top. and remove from oven and place in 13x9 casserole pan.
4. Take all ingredients from step two and put into wedges and on top of the eggplant in the pans.
5. Cover with foil and bake on 375 for 45 minutes or until eggplant is soft.
Top with cold diced onions and tomatoes.
This recipe can also have pine nuts put into it in the saute step. I am allergic so I leave them out. although I have had it with the nuts and I dont think it adds much.
I drank this with my North English Brown Ale and the slight roasty bitterness of the beer went very well with the subtle sweetness of the eggplant.
