1
cut eggplant in half and take out the seeds along with some of the middle meat and make it like a boat, don't take out too much.

sprinkle some of the spices and chop the veggies like in the picture.

thin onion bits, length ways for the tomatoes and chop parsely and garlic.

onions, garlic, tomato strips, beef ball patted out, tomatoes then parsely and spices.

the beef ball should be about 1 tbs.

then place the eggplants in the pan and in the oven for about 30 minutes.

30 minutes later add the water (1 or 1/2 a cup) and cover for an additional 20 minutes.

we need to make sure the eggplant and beef are well cooked.
-
15
this step will create sauce as well.
-
16
use the rest of the 100 g beef to make burger patties.

stuff them with some of the onions and make a ball then pat it out and cook directly in a hot pan with no oils.
-
18
nonstick pans work best.

gently nudge and flip over after 3 -4 minutes when the meat is hard enough so it wouldn't break then cover and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes and flip the burgers in between.
