Brunġiel mimli

Brunġiel mimli is a traditional dish originating from Malta. The dish consists of stuffed and baked eggplants. The eggplants are washed, cut in half, and boiled. The flesh is removed with a spoon and set aside for later. The eggplants are stuffed with a combination of ground meat (pork, beef, or both), eggs, onions, tomato paste, salt, pepper, grated cheese, and the previously removed eggplant pulp. Once stuffed, they're arranged in a baking dish and baked in the oven for about half an hour, then served.
