Gourmed

This classic Turkish eggplant recipe series without a Turkish hünkar beğendi translated literally means  “Your Majesty Liked it”. The creamy eggplant paste under the tasty tender pieces of lamb in tomato sauce is absolutely delicious.

instructions

Preheat grill.

  • Peel and pulp tomatoes
  • Finely chop onions

1.  Heat the butter in a pan and sauté the onion.

2.  Add the meat and stir well so that all the pieces brown; add the tomato pulp, 1/2 glass of water, pepper and sugar; cook over medium heat until the meat becomes tender and the sauce reduces.

3.  Melt the butter in a pan, add the flour and stir until it sets; gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps forming.

4.  When the sauce has thickened, add salt, pepper and ground nutmeg. Remove from heat.

5.  Char-grill the aubergines. When done, peel and remove seeds.

6.  Using a stainless steel knife, chop quickly, drain and add to the sauce.

7.  Stir with a wooden spoon until mixture is uniform.

8.  Add grated kaseri and serve with the meat.
