Slice up 4 eggplants in about 1cm thick cutting through the whole thing. Each one should cut up about 4 slices depending on size
After slicing them sprinkle salt on them to get the bitterness out and allow to soak up the salt for about ½ hr
Deep fry the eggplant until fully golden brown on both sides and allow to drain in a strainer. Leave for about an hr to drain all the excess oil
Cook about 2 cups of rice like u normally would but add a teaspoon of tumeric.
While that’s cooking in a pan fry about 500g of mince meat. Fry until fully cooked and put aside. In a small fry pan fry a hand full of pine nuts and cook until lightly golden.
Then once the rice is cooked start layering it in a deep pan
First place all the rice done the bottom and spread evenly.
Then add the eggplant on top of the rice. Make sure to cover all the rice.
Then add the meat also covering all the eggplant and then the pine nuts
Enjoy! U can eat yoghurt next to it or even tzatziki
