👨🍳 조리법
- 1
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
- 2
Cut eggplants in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving about a 1cm border. Chop the scooped-out eggplant flesh and set aside. Place the eggplant shells in salted water for about 15-20 minutes to remove bitterness, then drain and pat dry.
- 3
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened (about 5 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Add the ground meat to the pan and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- 5
Add the chopped eggplant flesh, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, diced bell pepper, paprika, dried mint, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir well and simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- 6
Brush the inside of the eggplant shells with a little olive oil and place them in a baking dish. Spoon the meat and vegetable filling generously into each eggplant half.
- 7
If using, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the filling.
- 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the eggplant shells are tender and the filling is heated through and slightly browned on top.

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving, if desired. Serve hot.
