Arabic Food 102 - Beethnjaan - Middle Eastern Eggplant Dish Recipe

Step 3 Eggplant Hat - Prepare The Topping

Your eggplant is naked and is lying there in a pan feeling ashamed. To make the sauce that will clothe this creature you will first put a little bit of olive oil in a pan and heat it up over a medium/high flame. Chop an onion and put it in a bowl with the ground beef, allspyce, cumin and salt. Mix this mixture thoroughly. Toss this beef, onion and spice blend into the pan and cook it till it browns.

Now mix your can of tomato paste with 1.5 cups of greek yogurt. Add the groundbeef mixture to it when it's done cooking and mix.

This ruddy mixture is the topping for your eggplants

I am a huge eggplant fan, the concept of the recipe sounds very tempting.  I think I will make this but substitute lamb for the beef and feta for the cheddar.

Fage is the best stuff in the FREAKING WORLD. I can't believe you actually bought that heavenly item - it's soo freggin' good and expensive.
