What it is
Tender eggplant halves are generously stuffed with a savory mixture of ground lamb or beef, finely chopped onions, and a rich blend of fresh herbs (dill, mint, cilantro). The stuffed eggplants are then slowly cooked until tender, often in a light tomato-infused broth. Crucially, for a keto version, this dish is prepared entirely without any rice in the filling.
Key ingredients
Eggplant, ground lamb/beef, onion, tomato paste/puree, fresh herbs (dill, mint, cilantro), cooking oil, salt, pepper.
If you order it anyway
Ensure no rice is used in the stuffing. Confirm no sugar is added to the tomato broth or sauce.
