Ingredients (4-6 servings)

• 6 Eggplants ( small once)
• 2 Onion (medium once)
• 2 Tomato
• 7 Green pepper
• 4 cloves of garlic (optional)
• 1 spoonful of tomato paste
• 300 gram ground meat
• 1/2 Parsley
• Salt, Blackpapper, Red Pepper, Olive oil (Flower oil)

instructions

-Peel eggplants leaving lengthwise stripes and then put them in salty water for 10 minutes. Dry them well and fry them as a whole in a deep pot with canola or corn or vegetable oil, whichever you're comfortable with. Make sure oil is really hot before you place eggplants, otherwise eggplants will soak tons of oil.

-Once they're fried, first soak the excessive oil by resting them on a paper towel, and then place eggplants on an oven dish.

-In a deep frying pan, heat olive oil. Add onions and stir for 3-4 minutes.

-Add ground meat. Cook until ground meat soaks all the juice it lets out.

-Add diced tomato. Stir until cooked. Turn it off.

-Add chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

-With the help of two spoons, slit eggplants into two. But leave the tops and bottoms attached.

-Stuff eggplants with ground meat mixture.

-Place a slice of half moon shaped tomato and a green pepper on top of each split belly eggplant.

-Pour 1 cup of hot water on top and bake them in preheated oven at 400F until green peppers are nicely baked.

Serve with rice, Enjoy your meal:))
