For several weeks I've been craving for stuffed eggplants and for one thing or another when shopping for food, I forgot to buy something, so today I put my determination and well, I managed to make them. So I took pictures of the process and decided to make it my post today, to give you an idea of a recipe that I consider easy, economical and more or less fast (it took me about 1 hour to make them from scratch).

• Ground Meat
• Eggplant
• 2 Peppers
• 1 small onion
• Garlic (I used 8 cloves, you use the amount you prefer)
• Salt to taste
• Oregano to taste
• Adobo to taste
• Soy sauce to taste
• 1 teaspoon Onoto powder
• Cheese of your choice (this time I got some inexpensive parmesan, I mixed it with some hard cheese, and those were the ones I used)

The first thing we have to do is to prepare the meat, so if you have some leftover meat in the fridge, this recipe will be much faster.

Cut the onion and chili bell pepper into small squares. Peel the garlic and then crush it.

Cut and remove the core of the eggplant as follows; first in half, then in squares, which we will remove to leave our eggplant hollow, as in the photos:

Now it is time to season the meat, add salt, oregano, adobo and soy sauce.

We will also add the chili, onion and garlic that we had previously cut, unite and then add the eggplant. Add a little water and the onoto powder, let it cook at medium heat for 30 minutes more or less.

Once the meat is cooked, all that remains is to stuff the eggplants with meat and cheese. The stuffing can be done in two ways:

1. just with meat and add the cheese at the top.
2. With layers of meat and cheese (this is how I did it this time).

Now all that's left is to put them in the oven to cook the eggplant and gratinate the cheese, it took me about 20 minutes. Here are some pictures of the result

This recipe is very easy to make, it saves you when you have guests and not much to give them, I consider that the most expensive thing as such is the meat and you don't need it in large quantities. For me it is fast because I can last up to 1:30h making a lunch and this meal is done in 1h, even less if you have the meat ready from the day before or if you have leftovers from other preparations. I can tell you that for me it is a divine idea, it helps me to vary my meals and make them a little different.
