Preparing : Wash the
vegetables. Cut off the stems from eggplants,
and cut them into two crosswise. Scoop out the
pulp, leaving 2-3 milimeter thick shells, place
in water. Peel the onions, wash and chop finely.
Wash and drain the rice. Separate the parsley
leaves and chop finely. Mix well the tomato paste,
minced meat, onion, rice, parseley, salt, black
pepper, 1/3 cup water and the margarine. Fill
the eggplant shells with this mixture. Place tomato
slices over the open ends and place them in a
shallow dish with the open ends up. Heat and add
the remaining water and cover and simmer for about
50 minutes, until the rice is tender.
Good Apetite.
