Eggplant goes great with tomato, hamburger and garlic in this easy-to-prepare and well-seasoned recipe. Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef |
2 onions, chopped |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste |
2 1/4 cups water |
1 (14.5 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes |
1/3 cup dried parsley |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1 eggplant |
1 onion, sliced |
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs |
1 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, saute the ground beef, onion and garlic for 5 to 10 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in the tomato paste, water, tomatoes, parsley, thyme, oregano and basil. Set aside.
3. Slice eggplant into 1/4-inch rounds. Place a layer of eggplant into the bottom of a lightly greased 9x12-inch glass baking dish. Then place a layer of the ground beef mixture over the eggplant, followed by a layer of sliced onion. Top this with 1/2 the breadcrumbs and cheese. Then repeat the layers: eggplant, ground beef mixture, sliced onion and remaining breadcrumbs and cheese.
4. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour, remove foil and bake for 20 more minutes.
