Steps

  1. 1

    First, scoop out the flesh from the eggplants and wash them well. Drain thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the filling: In a little oil, sauté the ground beef. Add a pinch of salt, black pepper, white pepper, red pepper, and ground ginger. Stir well and cook until the meat is done. Place in a strainer and set aside to use as filling for the eggplants.

  7. 7

    In a baking dish, layer toasted pita bread, then arrange the stuffed and fried eggplants on top. Pour the red sauce over them. (Optional: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 10 minutes to heat through. You can skip the oven and just layer everything if you prefer, but I like to heat it for serving.)

    Sauté the nuts in a little butter and vegetable oil until golden. Remove the nuts and set aside, reserving the butter to drizzle over the dish later.
