Rulo Patlıcan Kebabı by Tina
Rolled Eggplant Kebab. A delicious and practical dish with eggplant and minced meat
Ingredients:
250-300g ground meat
3-4 long eggplants
3-4 peppers
1 cup grated tomatoes
1 tsp tomato paste
Less than 1 teacup of water (about 75 ml)
Black pepper, to taste
Salt, to taste
Preparation:
Peel the eggplants partially and slice them. Lightly fry the slices on both sides
Place the ground meat in a bowl, add half a teaspoon of black pepper and 1-1.5 teaspoons of salt, and knead well
Once the fried eggplant slices have cooled, take one slice, place a small piece of ground meat (about the size of a Tekirdağ meatball) at one end, and roll it up
Repeat with all the eggplant slices and place them in a suitable baking dish
Place slices of peppers between the rolled eggplants. Drizzle grated tomato over them. You can use ready-made grated tomato or peel and finely chop fresh tomatoes
Don't forget to sprinkle a pinch of salt over the tomatoes and eggplants
Since the eggplants are fried, they will release oil into the dish, so do not add extra oil
Mix about 1 teaspoon of tomato paste with nearly a teacup of water (about 75 ml) and add it to the dish
Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for half an hour. Then, remove the foil and bake until browned
Enjoy!
Notes:
This dish is versatile and can be adjusted with different types of peppers or additional spices according to taste
