Steps
- 1
First, scoop out the flesh from the eggplants and wash them well. Drain thoroughly.
- 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.
- 3
Stuff the eggplants with the cooked ground beef, then close the opening with some of the scooped-out eggplant flesh.
- 4
Heat oil for frying. Fry the stuffed eggplants, turning them occasionally for about 10 minutes. Remove and drain well on paper towels. Set aside.
- 5
For the red sauce: In a pot, sauté sliced onions in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil until soft. Add tomato paste, water, a pinch of salt, and spices. Stir well, cover, and let simmer until the sauce thickens.
- 6
For the white sauce (Tarator): Mix yogurt, tahini, and minced garlic. Add a little water if needed to reach a smooth consistency.
- 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.)
- 8
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.
- 9
Add another layer of toasted pita bread, then pour the white sauce over the top. Sprinkle the sautéed nuts and some of the cooked ground beef on top.
- 10
Drizzle the reserved butter (from sautéing the nuts) over the dish and garnish with chopped parsley. It's now ready to serve.
- 11
Serve alongside fresh vegetables and pickles.

Enjoy!
