Ingredients
- 2 medium eggplants sliced into 2-inch rounds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup pine nuts
- 1 tablespoon ghee clarified butter
- 1 pound ground lamb or sirloin
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 large onion diced
- ½ cup low sodium chicken broth
- 32 ounces crushed tomatoes
- PLAIN yogurt minced parsley & extra pine nuts, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Lay the eggplant rounds in a single layer on the prepared pan and, using a pastry brush, brush both sides evenly with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then broil eggplant 5 minutes per side, until browned. Place broiled eggplant in the bottom of a 9x13 glass baking dish.
- Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees.

- While pine nuts are toasting, melt clarified butter in a deep pan heated over medium-high heat.
- Brown meat in the butter and sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes using a wooden spoon to break up the meat as it cooks.
- Add onions to the pan and continue cooking for additional 5-7 minutes until onions are translucent.
- Add chicken broth and deglaze the pan using the back of a wooden spoon to scrape up brown bits.
- Pour in crushed tomatoes and toasted pine nuts, then remove from heat.
- Carefully pour the meat mixture over the eggplant rounds and bake for 45 minutes.
- Serve with plain yogurt, fresh parsley and extra pine nuts.
