How to Make Eggplant With Lamb And Pine Nuts

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground lamb, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Brown the lamb, breaking it up with a spoon, until cooked through.
  2. Stir in salt, pepper, tomato sauce, red wine, cinnamon, allspice, and pine nuts.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. While the sauce simmers, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. In a separate skillet, lightly brown the eggplant slices in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Brown both sides, ensuring they are tender but not mushy.
  6. Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet.
  7. Spoon the lamb and sauce mixture evenly over the eggplant slices.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and heated through, and the topping is bubbly.
