Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Cut the tops off the eggplants and scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4-inch (6 mm) thickness around the skin. Chop the eggplant flesh and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Stir in the chopped eggplant flesh, rice, tomatoes, pine nuts, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, whisk together tomato paste and water.
- Spoon the beef and rice mixture into the hollowed-out eggplants. Place the stuffed eggplants in a baking dish, and pour the tomato paste mixture over the top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggplants are tender and the rice is cooked.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
