Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (440°F). Gather your ingredients and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Carefully slice the eggplants in half lengthways, score the flesh, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and bake cut-side down for 30 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-low heat, sauté the onion for 5-7 minutes until soft, then stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Increase heat to medium, add ground beef, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in spices and simmer for 10 minutes.
- After the eggplants are roasted, scoop out the flesh, chop finely, and mix with the beef filling.
- Stuff the eggplant halves with the beef mixture, pack generously, and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve topped with yogurt and parsley.

Notes
Eggplant selection is crucial for texture; choose firm medium-sized ones. Taste the filling before stuffing to ensure proper seasoning.
