Recipe Introduction


Greek "Little Shoes"


List of Ingredients




3 eggplants
¼ cup olive oil
1 lb ground lamb
¼ cup minced onion
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ cup butter
¼ cup flour
1¼ cups milk
1 cup coarsely-grated cheese
¼ teaspoon salt
pinch of nutmeg

Recipe



Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise, remove centers, parboil for 5 minutes, and arrange in a baking dish. Long, slender eggplants may be more attractive and closer to the little shoes appearance.

For the filling, brown the ground lamb and onions in the olive oil. Then add the tomato sauce, the teaspoon of salt, and pepper and simmer for 10 minutes. Stuff the eggplant halves with the mixture.

Make the sauce by combining the butter and flour, adding the milk and stir until thick, then stirring in the grated cheese and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Add nutmeg.

Pour the sauce over the stuffed eggplants and bake at 350° for 30 minutes.

Serves: 6
