Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium eggplant, about 1 lb
1 medium onion, chopped, about 1/2 cup
1/2 lb ground beef or 1/2 lb ground lamb
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup parsley, snipped
1 teaspoon coriander, ground
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin, ground
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel eggplant; halve it lengthwise. Cut crosswise into 1/2 inch slices, then cut slices into 1/2 inch strips. You should have about 4 cups of eggplant.
  • In a covered saucepan cook eggplant and onion in a small amount of boiling salted water about 5 minutes or just till tender; drain well. Pat any excess water off the vegetables with paper towels.
  • In a 10 inch oven-going skillet cook beef or lamb and garlic till meat is brown; drain off the fat. Stir in eggplant mixture; spread on the bottom of the skillet.
  • Combine eggs, parsley, coriander, salt, cumin, and pepper. Whisk until well combined. Carefully pour over meat and vegetable mixture. Cook over medium heat. As eggs set, run a spatula around the edge of the skillet, lifting the eggs to allow uncooked portion to flow underneath. Continue cooking and lifting until mixture is almost set. (about 10 minutes).
  • Place under the broiler about 5 inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes or till set and golden.
