A plate from the tradition of Mallorca. It takes some time, but the result is just amazing.

Ingredients
 8 mid-sized eggplants
 1 kg of minced meat (half pork and half calf)
 2 onions
 2 tomatoes
 2 spoons of flour
 100 ml milk
 3 eggs
 Breadcrumbs
 1 bunch of parsley
 1 twig of marjoram
 Salt, pepper, nutmeg
 Tomato sauce and fried potatoes
Step by step
1

Divide the eggplants in two pieces. Mark with a knife the cube pattern you can see in the photo: this will help in removing the pulp of the eggplant.

2

Put the halves on a tray, with some olive oil and salt. Bake them 25 min, 170 ºC.

3

Let them cool a little and then use a spoon to empty them. Put the pulp aside, we will use it later.

4

Prepare a sauté of onions, garlic and tomatoes.

5

When the sauté is done, add the minced meat and add salt and pepper to it. Blend it until the meat is cooked.

6

Add the pulp of the eggplant to the meat and mix it.

7

Put now the flour and let it cook while mixing (don't burn it!). After some minutes, add the milk and the nutmeg. Mix it well.

8

Add the parsley and marjoram and remove from heat. Finally, add and incorporate two raw eggs.

9

When the mix is cold enough, stuff the eggplants.

10

Cover each stuffed eggplant with some egg and breadcrumbs.

11

Bake the eggplants for 40-50 minutes at 200 ºC... and let's eat!
