Step by Step guide
Step 1
Wash the eggplants and cut them in half lengthwise.
Step 10
Fill with the mince.
Step 11
Sprinkle grated cheese on top. Bake at 356°F for 20–25 minutes until a golden cheese crust forms.
Step 12
Serve hot, garnished with herbs.
Step 2
Scoop out the flesh with a spoon, being careful not to damage the skin. To make it easier to remove the flesh, make diagonal cuts with a knife beforehand.
Step 3
Sauté the turkey mince together with the chopped eggplant flesh in a small amount of oil.
Step 4
Dip the eggplant halves in boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Then carefully remove them with a slotted spoon.
Step 5
Peel the tomatoes (to do this, dip them in the water where the eggplant halves were blanched for 1 minute). Cut into small cubes.
Step 6
Add the chopped tomatoes to the mince.
Step 7
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add khmeli-suneli. Mix well.
Step 8
When the mince is almost ready, add the chopped cilantro and minced garlic. Stir and turn off the heat.
Step 9
Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet lined with foil.
