4 large eggplants
1 lb ground beef (I use a mix of both) or 1 lb ground pork (I use a mix of both)
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, grated
1 onion, sliced
2 teaspoons tomato paste
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup breadcrumbs or 3/4 cup semolina

1
Parboil the eggplants for about 15 minutes.

Heat the oil and fry the onion.

Add the tomato paste, meat, and about half of the eggplant guts you reserved. Cook until the meat is done, stirring often.

Remove from heat and add the beaten eggs, cheese, salt and pepper.

Bake for 30 minutes in a 400F oven.
