Answer 3

needs: 1-2 big eggplant, canned diced tomatoes (1-2), one big onion, garlic, lean ground beef, olive oil, pomegranate molasses (optional), rice on the side

Cut the onion (maybe 1 onion) and cook it in olive oil..

Separately, cook the lean ground beef on low heat and add garlic to that as desired. Add to taste pomegranate molasses after being well cooked.

Peel the egg plant (1-2 large) and cut into smaller pieces then deep fry but you can skip this if you want to have healthier meal…but less tatsty.

Get an oven pan….lay the onion then put the fried egg plant on top of them, then have a layer of the cooked beef and finally the diced tomattos (this should cover everything)…

At 350 C leave the thing in the oven for 10-15 min..note that everything is already cooked ….If you did not fry the eggplant you may need to leave it longer…

Serve with rice…yummmmm..this an authentic midlde eastern dish......common in Lebanon and Syria
