What a tasty plate this looks, and I love food simply served with a salad too! Purely optional is a nice glass of red wine to go in the dish, and also to accompany it!
Ingredients:
Serves Four
3 small aubergines
1 onion
3 garlic cloves
olive oil
300g lamb mince
1tsp cinnamon
1tsp dried oregano
50ml red wine (optional)
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
75g feta cheese
100ml (low-fat) Greek yogurt
green salad
3 small aubergines
1 onion
3 garlic cloves
olive oil
300g lamb mince
1tsp cinnamon
1tsp dried oregano
50ml red wine (optional)
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
75g feta cheese
100ml (low-fat) Greek yogurt
green salad
Method:
Preheat the oven to Gas 4, 180°C, fan160°C. Halve the aubergines (eggplants)lengthways and scoop out the flesh. Chop the flesh into small (1cm) pieces. Gently fry the onions (finely chopped), garlic (crushed) and aubergine pieces in a splash of the oil, until softened but without colour.
Heat up a little oil in a separate frying pan, then season and brown the lamb in batches. Combine the lamb with the onion mixture. Add the cinnamon, oregano and red wine and cook for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes and a cup of water or stock. Bring to the boil and turn down to a simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Meanwhile, place the aubergine skins on a baking tray, season, drizzle with oil and roast for 20 minutes, then take out but leave the oven on.
When the lamb is cooked, spoon into the aubergine skins. Crumble the feta, mix with the Greek yogurt and spoon on top. Sprinkle with extra oregano and oven cook for 20 minutes. Serve with a green salad.

Hello, I would love this stuffed eggplant meal. Thanks for sharing. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day!
It looks delicious and I like meals that you can make in advance and warm later in the day.
A beautiful dish. And very tasty, I am sure!!
: )
Looks great! Thanks, and enjoy your day.
That sounds different!
This looks wonderful! Hugs, Valerie
Just lovely!
The presentation is lovely, Jan, and this looks very tasty, too!
Definitely a veggie filling here. And I do like eggplant. Thank you.
Looks delicious! And pretty easy, as well. Will give it a go.
I don't like eggplants, this is a bit awful especially that I am a vegetarian, oh me.
Wonderful Jan, sounds delicious. I don't think I have ever cooked and stuffed an eggplant like this. Will give it a try.
Not aubergine fans here, but still think it looks lovely, very visually pleasing xx
Not a fan of eggplant..Looks pretty though..
Looks delicious!
Looks great!
This looks fabulous! I like moussaka and never thought to use it as a stuffing for eggplant. This is a winning combination for me!
I'm veggie so that would be nice with a veggie filling.
That looks delicious I say as I sit here eating a bowl of raw mixed nuts and a bowl of fresh fruits. :)
When we were in Skiathos our hotel owner left us a lunch one day in our room. (That's the sort of folk they are). It looked very much like this and certainly tasted authentic and with their own home grown aubergines. We really enjoyed it. Can't offer a better recommendation for your recipe than that.
Hummmm deve ser delicioso.
Um abraço e boa semana.

Sounds so good! Thanks Jan!
I'm sure this is very tasty, but it just looks unappealing to me!
Thanks for your comments and the one about the washing up liquid, I went there on Saturday and scooped up a couple of bottles.
