Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon salt, divided
- 5 Japanese eggplants, peeled, tops left intact
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large white onion, chopped
- 1 ½ teaspoons chopped garlic
- 1 pound cubed stew meat
- 1 cube beef bouillon
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

- 2 cups water
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Sprinkle 2 teaspoons salt over eggplant.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook eggplants until soft and browned, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in stew meat, beef bouillon, cumin, and saffron; cook meat until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste until well mixed.
