Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g pork meat/beef or lamb meat
- 2 eggplants
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 Turkish green pepper (you find this in Turkish supermarkets)
- 1 small can of pureed tomato (60 g)
- 150 ml (lactose-free) milk
- 30 g butter
- 30 g (gluten-free) flour
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius. Wash the eggplants and make small cuts in them with a knife. Place the eggplants in the oven for about 20-30 minutes. You can check in between whether they are done by pricking them with a fork. When the inside became very soft they are done.
- In the meantime remove the skin of the tomatoes and cut them into cubes. You can do this by making a cross in the top of the tomato with a knife and putting them in boiling water shortly. Cut the green pepper in pieces too.
- Heat some oil in a pan and put the meat in it. Leave it to bake until it is nearly done and then add the tomatoes, the green pepper and the pureed tomato. Keep stirring until the tomatoes have softened.
- Pour some boiling water in the pan. Stir through and lower the heat. Put a lid on the pan and leave it to simmer for about half an hour.
- Take the eggplant’s out of the oven and cut them in half. Remove the inside of the eggplant from the skin using a spoon. You won’t use the skin. Cut the inside of the eggplant in pieces.
- Put another pan on the fire and add the butter and the flour to this. Stir this through until everything is melted. Add the milk and stir until the mixture becomes thicker. If necessary you can add a bit of extra flour. Add some salt for flavour.
- Put the eggplant pieces in the pan too. Stir them through the sauce. Try the sauce and add some salt and pepper if necessary. Do the same for the meat sauce.
- Put the eggplant puree on a plate and put some of the meat mixture in the middle. For decoration, you can add some fresh parsley.
