Ingredients
- 3 large eggplant
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 large onion Diced
- 4 cloves garlic Minced
- 1 lb lamb ground
- 1 cup walnuts Chopped
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 cup pomegranate molasses See Notes
- 1/3 cup parsley Chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Coat with non stick spray.
- Cut the eggplants in halves lengthwise. Cut diamonds into each eggplant half, make sure not to pierce into the eggplant skin.
- Brush the eggplants with olive oil. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until they're cooked.
- Meanwhile, heat a pan over medium heat and pour the 2 tablespoons olive oil into the pan. Saute onion until translucent. Add in garlic and cook for two minutes.
- Add in ground lamb and cook until the meat is golden brown and fully cooked.
- Add in walnuts, cumin, turmeric, salt and pepper. Stir well until everything is incorporated.
- Mix in the pomegranate molasses. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Top the roasted eggplants with the lamb and walnut mixture. Add some parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- To make pomegranate molasses at home, simmer pomegranate juice over medium heat until it thickens and has the consistency of syrup.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven at 300 degrees F for 20 minutes until heated through.
- You can use cooked lentils or mushrooms instead of lamb for a vegetarian version.
- If you don't like lamb, use lean ground beef for this recipe.
