Eggplant rolls with minced meat and couscous

Ingredients

eggplant (cut lengthwise 0.5 cm thick.) 1 kg
eggplant oil 50 ml
large fleshy red pepper (cut into rings) 200 gr.
minced meat (pork, veal) 500 gr.
couscous 50-60 gr.
minced onion (grate) 1
clove of garlic (through a press) salt, pepper
for the sauce:
medium onion (grate) 1
olive oil 4 tbsp. l.
large ripe tomatoes (or 1 jar in its own juice) 400 gr.
tomato paste 1 tbsp. l.
sugar pinch
garlic 3 teeth
oregano, salt, pepper, basil, paprika to taste

Cooking method

  • prepare the sauce:
  • In a saucepan with a thick bottom, heat the oil well and lightly fry the onions and garlic in it.
  • scald the tomatoes and peel them, finely chop (grate) add to the onion, add tomato paste, sugar, paprika, salt and pepper in a couple of minutes, add a little water (broth or juice from the tomato) if necessary and simmer for 15-20 minutes . (considering that the dish will be cooked in the oven!)
  • add basil and oregano 2 minutes before the end of cooking.
  • Pour couscous with hot water and leave for five minutes, drain if any water remains.
  • Prepare minced meat. Add onion, garlic and spices to it, then couscous and mix well, leave to rest a little.
  • Cut the eggplants lengthwise into thin plates, place on a baking sheet covered with baking paper and grease with oil, bake in the oven at 190aboutC for 15 minutes. (You can fry in a pan, but in this case the dish will turn out to be fatter)
  • Place the minced meat on the edge of the cooled eggplant plate and twist it into a roll.
  • Place the rolls in a fireproof dish, top with slices of pepper and pour over the sauce. Bake preheated until 190about From the oven 30 min.
  • PS I have small pieces of eggplant and minced meat that are not rolled up, I laid the eggplant on the bottom of the mold, and made meatballs from the minced meat.
