@crispybites47: Turkish Eggplant Meat Rolls 🍆 Ingredients For the Eggplant Rolls: 3 large eggplants 500 g (1 lb) ground beef or lamb 1 small onion, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced 1 tsp paprika ½ tsp cumin ½ tsp black pepper 1 tsp salt 2 tbsp olive oil For the Sauce: 2 tbsp tomato paste 1 cup crushed tomatoes ½ cup water 1 tsp paprika Salt and black pepper, to taste Instructions Slice the eggplants lengthwise into thin strips. Sprinkle lightly with salt and let them sit for 10–15 minutes, then pat dry. Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and lightly grill or pan-sear them until softened and lightly golden. In a bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped onion, garlic, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt. Mix well. Place a small portion of the minced meat mixture on each eggplant slice and roll it tightly. Arrange the eggplant rolls seam-side down in a baking dish. Tuck pieces of red and green pepper between the rolls. Mix tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, water, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Pour the sauce around the eggplant rolls. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes, until the meat is fully cooked and the tops are beautifully roasted. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with rice, bulgur, or warm bread. #EasyRecipe #comfortfood #food #turkishfood #Foodie
