Mmmm...delicious.

Chop up the flesh of 1 eggplant, scooped out of half-shells. Shells sprinkled with salt and set aside.

Cook eggplant flesh with 1 tin tomatoes, 1 spanish onion, one bulb roasted garlic, 2 shallots finely chopped, and 500g beef mince. Add 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup red wine and boil until eggplant flesh is soft. Add salt, pepper, and herbs to taste.

While cooking the mix, put the eggplant shells in an oven warmed to 200C for 10 minutes.

Lightly stir cottage cheese into the eggplant-tomato-onion-garlic-mince mix, spoon into eggplant shells. Bake in oven at 175C for 20 mins. (If you have a deep tray, you can fill it with water up to the rim of the eggplant shells.)

Serve!

It's really really delish. A little complex, perhaps, but beautifully warm and filling. Non-carb-y comfort food!

Is there a substitute for the beef? I'm not a meat eater and most recipes have a substitute?

Thank You

Just leave it out entirely?

The original recipe is actually veggo, so just skip the beef entirely and put whatever vegies you please in!

Thank you. I wanted to try it because it sounds like something good to eat.
