Zubereitung von Italian Eggplant Aubergine Casserole

  1. Peel and cube 1 large (approximately 2 pounds) eggplant.
  2. Place cubed eggplant in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender (about 15-20 minutes), then drain well.
  3. Cook 1 cup of rice according to package directions using 1 cup of water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Fluff with a fork once cooked and set aside.
  4. In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of ground meat (beef, Italian sausage, or a combination) over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon.
  5. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 bell pepper (chopped) to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, or until softened.
  6. Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
  7. Add the cooked eggplant, cooked rice, and 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes (or your favorite tomato soup) to the meat mixture. Stir well to combine.
  8. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Spoon half of the eggplant mixture into the dish.
  11. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  12. Add the remaining eggplant mixture and top with the remaining cheese.
  13. Bake for 30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly, and the cheese is golden brown.
