Method

9 steps

Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise, scoop out the flesh with a spoon, leaving edges about 1 cm thick. Finely chop the flesh.
Peel and finely chop the bell pepper and onion. Mince the garlic.
Heat the oil in a pan. Sauté the onion until translucent, add the ground beef and fry, breaking up any lumps, until cooked through.
Add the chopped eggplant flesh, bell pepper, garlic, tomato paste, salt, and pepper to the beef. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Stuff the eggplant halves with the prepared filling.
Place the stuffed eggplants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 25-30 minutes.
Remove the eggplants from the oven and sprinkle with grated cheese.
Return to the oven for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts and browns.
