PAPOUTSAKIAS (STUFFED EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE))



Papoutsakias (Stuffed Eggplant (Aubergine)) image

The name is Greek for "little shoes", which describes the eggplant halves, filled with a mixture of chopped eggplant, ground meat, sauce and seasonings, then roasted. I like to roast them covered in a Weber type grill for the smoky flavor, but they are very good done in a regular oven.

Provided by Chopin Liszt

Categories     Greek

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 medium eggplants
1 lb ground beef or 1 lb ground lamb
1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/3 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
basil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cut eggplants in half lengthwise.
  • Scoop out flesh of eggplants using a large spoon, leaving 1/2 inch of thickness to the shells (four halves are to be stuffed, the third eggplant is for extra flesh).
  • Smear four shells with olive oil and roast, flesh side down, on grill or in 400 degree F oven until lightly brown, about 10 minutes.
  • While the shells roast, brown the meat in a LARGE skillet, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove meat and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, chop eggplant flesh coarsely and garlic finely.
  • Add olive oil to the skillet and cook the chopped eggplant and garlic until the eggplant is well done and soft, about 30 minutes.
  • Add all ingredients, except shells, to the skillet and cook until everything is nicely combined, about 10 minutes.
  • Fill the shells with the mixture.
  • Sprinkle with grated cheese.
  • Roast until bubbly and brown, about 5 minutes.

  • To prepare these extra juicy shoe-shaped ‘melitzanes papoutsakia’ recipe, cut the eggplants in two pieces and carve them crosswise (the flesh). Season the eggplants and place them in a colander for about half an hour. Wash them with plenty of water and drain them on some kitchen paper.
  • Preheat the oven at 200C. Season the eggplants with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Place the eggplants (with the skin facing up) in a baking tray, lined with parchment paper. Bake the eggplants for 40 minutes, until softened.
  • In the meantime, prepare the meat sauce for the ‘papoutsakia’. Peel and chop the onions and garlic. Place a large pan on medium heat, add some olive oil and the onions and sauté, until softened. Stir in the garlic and sauté. Turn the heat up, add the minced beef breaking it up with your spoon and sauté. Deglaze with the red wine and wait 1-2 minutes to evaporate. Stir in the canned tomatoes, the cinnamon stick, a pinch of sugar, the oregano and season. Bring to the boil, turn the heat down and simmer with the lid on for about 30 minutes, until most of the juices have evaporated. At the end, add 1-2 handfuls grated cheese and chopped parsley and stir.
  • Prepare the béchamel sauce for the Greek stuffed eggplant. Use a large pan to melt some butter over low-medium heat. Add the flour whisking continuously to make a paste. Add warmed milk in a steady stream; keep whisking in order to prevent your sauce from getting lumpy. If the sauce still needs to thicken, boil over low heat while continuing to stir. Remove the pan from the stove, stir in the egg yolks and season with salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. Whisk quickly, in order to prevent the eggs from turning an omelette! Season with salt to taste.
