2 to 6 Tbsp. olive oil
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
1 1/2 lb. ground meat (beef and/or lamb)

Stirring constantly, add the wine, tomatoes and herbs, then season with salt and pepper; cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
4
Cool.
5
Add egg whites and 2 tablespoons of the bread crumbs and blend with a spoon.

Partially peel eggplants by cutting 1/2-inch strips of skin off lengthwise; cut off green stem end, then cut in circles or lengthwise into 1/3-inch slices.

Fry lightly on both sides (or I prefer to brush lightly with oil and bake in a hot oven until slightly golden on both sides.)
8
Prepare the cream sauce (recipe follows); cool, then add egg yolks and about half the grated cheese and stir well.
