Preparation and Cooking
- In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until minimally pink.
- Add diced onion and garlic, stirring until the onions look glossy.
- Sprinkle in cinnamon and oregano, then stir in the rice.
- Add the canned tomatoes (with juice) and beef stock, followed by the cubed eggplant, salt, and pepper.
- Cover the pot and let it simmer gently until the rice is fluffy and the eggplant is soft.
- Check occasionally, poking it with a spoon to prevent sticking.
Notes
Serve straight from the pot; it's perfect for cozy evenings. Consider adding a scoop of plain Greek yogurt for extra protein.
