How to Make Eggplant Casserole Recipe?

  • Peel the eggplants in various stripes, cut them into eight lengthwise, salt them and soak them in cold water for 15 minutes.
  • Spread a thin layer of tail fat on the bottom of the casserole. Then, arrange the coarsely chopped onions and lamb cubed meat in a single layer.
  • Squeeze the eggplants with your hands until there is no juice left and arrange them on the meat, leaving no space between them.
  • Peel the garlic and place it whole on the eggplants.
  • Chop the peppers into large pieces and place them in the casserole.
  • Grate the tomatoes for the sauce. Add tomato paste, olive oil and spices to the grated tomatoes, mix, pour over the casserole and shake lightly.
  • Finally, leave pieces of butter on top.
  • Cover the casserole with soaked wax paper and a lid. Lower the preheated oven from 220 degrees to 180 degrees and place the casserole on the bottom of the oven.
  • After one and a half or two hours, open the casserole and check it with a long knife. If everything inside is soft, remove the lid and paper and cook for another half hour until the top is golden brown.
  • Let the cooked casserole rest for half an hour and serve hot. Enjoy your meal.
