Provided by Matt Lee And Ted Lee

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 medium (about 3/4 pound) eggplants
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup raisins, preferably golden
Juice of two large lemons
6 tablespoons mint, chopped
6 tablespoons parsley, chopped
4 shakes Worcestershire sauce
8 ounces ricotta salata, in 1/4-inch dice
Salt and ground pepper to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-low heat, add onions and garlic. Sweat, covered, for five minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cut eggplants in half crosswise so that each half is of roughly equal volume. Carefully trim ends, if necessary, so that each half stands upright. Scoop out eggplant with a spoon, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Reserve shells. Chop eggplant flesh coarsely.
Add eggplant, cinnamon, raisins and lemon juice to skillet with onions. Cover, and cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Take skillet off flame, allow to rest for a minute, and then gently fold in mint, parsley, Worcestershire and cheese. (If ricotta salata is not available, cheeses like feta or mozzarella may be substituted.) Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the mixture loosely into eggplant shells, and arrange upright on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake in a 325-degree oven for 10 minutes. Let cool on a rack, then wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Place the eggplant, flesh side up, on a large tray. Sprinkle flesh with salt and set aside for 20 minutes so that the eggplant "sweats" its bitter juices. Over the sink, gently squeeze the eggplant to extract bitter juices. Wipe dry.
Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil. Cut 3 slits or shallow lines into the eggplant flesh, then brush generously with olive oil. Lay on the prepared tray, flesh-side down. Drizzle more extra virgin olive oil on top. Roast in heated oven for 30 minutes or until flesh is tender and deeply browned (but not burned).
While eggplant is roasting, make the meat stuffing mixture. In a large heavy skillet, heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Add ground beef, onions and garlic. Brown beef mixture over medium-high heat until fully cooked through. Season the meat mixture with salt and pepper, 1/2 tsp allspice, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. Remove from heat. Squeeze any excess water out of bulgur, then add to the meat mixture. Add chopped parsley and pine nuts. Give the mixture a good stir. Taste and adjust salt if needed (do not over-salt, especially if using salted tomato sauce later)
