Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb ground lean lamb
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup tomato sauce, canned
1/4 cup red wine
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
3 tablespoons pine nuts (you might want to add more for personal taste)
1 large eggplant

Steps:

  • Brown the lamb, onion and garlic in the oil, in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the meat is browned, add the salt, pepper, tomato sauce, red wine, cinnamon, allspice and pine nuts. Cook for about 15 minutes while the sauce reduces a little.
  • Cut the eggplant into 1/2 inch slices. Lightly brown them in a separate skillet with just a touch of olive oil. Turn and brown the other sides. Do not overcook, just brown them.
  • Place the eggplant slices on a baking sheet and spread some of the filling on each.
  • Bake in a 375 degree F. oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until it is all hot and the eggplant is tender.
