Want to try a ripped belly? Do not faint, but this is exactly how the dish sounds from Turkish (Karnıyarık) stuffed with minced meat eggplant. Incredibly delicious, like all Turkish cuisine.

So, the set of ingredients is simple. The basis is the eggplant and ground beef themselves. To make the minced meat tastier and juicier, it is supplemented with tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic and herbs.

Wash the eggplants. Cutting the skin like me is completely optional. It seemed to me that the dish would just look more beautiful. Place the eggplants in lightly salted water for 20 minutes.

While the eggplants give their bitterness to the water, let's do the minced meat. Put diced onions, garlic, tomatoes, herbs, bell peppers and chili in a frying pan.

Add ground beef and tomato paste. Salt and add your favorite spices. I made do with cumin and sweet paprika.

Add vegetable oil and simmer - fry everything in a pan for about 5 minutes.

We take out the eggplants from the water, wipe them with a towel. They must be fried entirely in a pan (I have a grill) in vegetable oil until golden brown.

We "rip" them and form "pockets".

We fill with ready-made minced meat.

For each eggplant, lay out a circle of tomato and a strip of chili pepper. Put the eggplants in a baking dish, add 2 glasses of water (broth or tomato juice) to it. Cover the form with foil and put in the oven for 35 minutes. Remove the foil 10 minutes before the end of baking.
