Step by Step guide

Step 1

Slice the eggplants into thin slices, sprinkle with salt on both sides, and let them sit for 1 hour.

Step 2

Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and sauté it in a well-heated pan with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil until soft. Add the ground lamb, salt, paprika, and pepper. Brown the mixture and transfer the rendered fat and oil to another pan.

Step 3

Dredge the eggplants in flour and fry them on both sides in the well-heated fat, adding more oil if necessary.

Step 4

In a rectangular baking dish, layer the meat, then the browned eggplants, followed by a layer of thinly sliced tomatoes. Bake for about 1 hour at 356°F.
