The most popular eggplant recipes are usually those where they are stuffed with some other ingredient. This time, we present a lasagna with this fruit, baked with delicious Manchego cheese. The secret to prevent the eggplant from becoming bitter is to de-bitter it, meaning soaking it in salted water until it changes color. You can't go wrong with this step-by-step.

Preparation

45 mins

Low

Preheat the oven to 180°C. On a cutting board, slice the eggplant into medium-thick rounds, and soak them in water and salt for 1 hour to prevent bitterness. In a skillet, heat the oil, cook the meat until it changes color. Add the onion, garlic, nutmeg, cinnamon, oregano, salt, and pepper. Once the vegetables are soft, add the tomato puree, chopped tomato, and beef broth. Cook for 30 minutes until all the liquids evaporate. Remove. On a grill, roast the eggplants on both sides and set aside. In a baking dish, place a layer of eggplant followed by the meat, cream, goat cheese, Manchego cheese, and repeat this process until the container is full. Finish with Manchego cheese, sprinkle with parsley and bake until the cheese is golden, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
