INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 2 medium onions, cut into medium dice
    • 🧄 3 large cloves garlic, minced
    • 🍆 1 pound eggplant, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices

  • Meat

    • 🥩 2 pounds lean ground beef or turkey

  • Pantry

    • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
    • 🍅 2 cups canned crushed tomatoes
    • 🍇 ⅓ cup dark or golden raisins
    • 🧂 Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Dairy

    • 1 (24 ounce) package refrigerated mashed potatoes, warmed
    • 🥚 1 large egg, beaten

STEPS

1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onions until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, cinnamon, and cloves; cook for 1 minute.

2

Add meat to skillet, stirring to break it up, and cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and raisins; simmer for 10 minutes.

3

Arrange eggplant slices on a lipped cookie sheet. Brush both sides with the remaining oil, and season with salt and pepper. Broil on the upper oven rack, turning once, until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.

4

Reduce oven heat to 400°F (200°C). Lay eggplant in a single layer over the meat mixture in the skillet.

5

Whisk the beaten egg into the warmed mashed potatoes. Spread the potato mixture over the eggplant layer.

6

Bake on the lower oven rack until the sauce is bubbly and the top is golden, about 20 minutes.
