According to the cooking service Saed News, if you want to prepare a different kind of pan kebab with excellent flavor, you can make it using a delicious sauce combined with ground meat and grilled eggplant. This eggplant kebab can be easily served with fresh bread and herbs or with rice.

Ingredients

• Ground meat: 200 g

• Eggplants: 2

• Onions: 2

• Saffron (dissolved): as needed

• Butter and frying oil: as needed

• Tomatoes: 2

• Tomato paste: 1.5 tablespoons

• Boiling water: 1/2 cup

• Salt, black pepper, turmeric, paprika, garlic powder: as needed

Instructions

Step 1: Grilling the eggplants

First, wash the eggplants and place them directly over a flame or on a grill until fully roasted. Make a few small holes in the eggplants before grilling so they cook evenly. Once cooked, place them in a plastic bag or a covered container so the steam helps loosen the skin. Then peel and finely chop them with a knife.

Step 2: Preparing the kebab mixture

Peel and finely grate one onion. Combine it with the ground meat, spices, and grilled eggplant in a bowl. Mix and knead well until the mixture becomes uniform and cohesive. For better flavor absorption, let it rest in the refrigerator for about 1 hour before cooking.

Step 3: Cooking the eggplant kebab

Grease the bottom of a baking tray or pan. Spread the prepared mixture evenly. Place sliced tomatoes and onions on top. Cook it either in a preheated oven for about 15 minutes or on a stovetop over low heat until fully cooked and set.

Serve warm with fresh bread, herbs, or rice.
