It is in the fall that the eggplant season begins, this cannot but rejoice. After all, there are simply many different recipes for making eggplant, which will undoubtedly surprise guests or simply delight the whole family.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium sized eggplants (always fresh and firm);
• 0.3 kg of minced meat (pork or pork and beef);
• 2 slices of loaf;
• 100 ml fresh milk;
• 1 onion;
• 1 sweet pepper;
• 2 garlic cloves;
• half a teaspoon of cumin;
• 3 large tomatoes;
• chopped parsley;
• ¼ teaspoon chopped chili pepper;

Preparation

1. Put the minced meat in a bowl and mash with a fork.
2. Place the loaf slices in any wide container, pour over the milk and leave to stand for 5 minutes.
3. Chop the garlic with a press or knife. Finely chop the parsley with a knife. Chop the chili in the same way as the parsley.
4. Add chopped parsley and all the garlic to the minced meat. Season everything with caraway seeds, black pepper and chili, mix thoroughly until smooth.
5. Peel and chop the onion together with slices of loaves using a meat grinder, stir in the minced meat.
6. Mix the minced meat again with a spoon so that all the ingredients come together.
7. Wash and dry the eggplants with paper towels. Cut off the peel from the eggplant with a knife. Only you do not need to cut off the entire peel, but 4 long strips on the four sides of the vegetable. As a result, you get a black and white eggplant, as if in a longitudinal strip.
8. After that, on each eggplant, you need to make cuts at a frequency of 1 cm, without cutting to the end of 3-4 mm. In this case, you need to cut so that there is a black stripe on the top and bottom of the eggplant (during cutting), and white on the sides.
9. Form small cutlets from the minced meat and put them in the cuts on the eggplant.
10. Put the stuffed eggplants in a 3-liter saucepan.
11. Cut one tomato into large slices and put in a saucepan over the eggplant. Put the sweet pepper to the tomato slices, after cutting.
12. Carefully remove the peel from two tomatoes, and turn the remaining pulp into tomato puree using a meat grinder. Pour the mashed potatoes after the vegetables into a saucepan.
13. Cover the saucepan with a lid and place on the stove, cook its contents over low heat until tender (about 20-30 minutes).
14. Remove the prepared eggplants with minced meat and vegetables from the stove, season with salt, put on a plate, sprinkle with herbs.
