How to Make Eggplant Curtain Pilaf Recipe?

• To remove the bitterness of the eggplants, soak them in salt and lemon water, then slice them thinly lengthwise and fry them.
• Fry your washed rice with 1 tablespoon of butter. When it reaches a transparent structure, add salt as desired and add hot water. After boiling for a while, turn the heat down and let it absorb the water.
• Fry oil and onion in a separate pan. Add the meat and cook until the meat releases its juices.
• Add the peppers to the meat that has absorbed its water.
• Finally, after adding tomatoes, spices and half a glass of water, cook for another 10 minutes and remove from the stove.
• Arrange the fried eggplants side by side in a greased springform cake mold, leaving about 3 fingers of the eggplant outside. Arrange to leave 4-5 pieces at the end. We will use these eventually.
• Add the cooked meat to the mold and make adjustments so that it fits everywhere.
• After pouring all the rice pilaf into the mold and leveling it, cover the eggplants hanging from the edges towards the front. Close the remaining gaps with the 4-5 eggplants you set aside.
• To serve, place a plate on top of the mold, turn it upside down and remove the mold.
• If you wish, you can add chopped parsley and serve. Enjoy it with your loved ones.
