- Bake for about 35 minutes longer.
PAPOUTSAKIAS (STUFFED EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE))
The name is Greek for "little shoes", which describes the eggplant halves, filled with a mixture of chopped eggplant, ground meat, sauce and seasonings, then roasted. I like to roast them covered in a Weber type grill for the smoky flavor, but they are very good done in a regular oven.

Steps:
- Trim the stems from the eggplant. Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and, taking care not to break the skins, gently scoop out the flesh.
- Chop the flesh and set aside.
- Parboil the skins for 3 minutes, arrange in a lightly oiled baking dish and set aside.
- Heat 1/4 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick pan, add the minced lamb and stir constantly, until all the meat is browned.
- Remove the meat, draining off any juices, and set aside.
- Add 3/4 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan, add onions and garlic, and sauté until soft but not brown.
- Add the reserved eggplant flesh, tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste and stirring occasionally cook for 4-5 minutes, until contents of the pan have softened.
- Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the wine and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the remaining ingredients. Check seasoning, and simmer for 45 minutes.
- Combine the yoghurt, eggs, cheese and nutmeg. Season to taste.
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Gently scoop the meat sauce into the eggplant skins which you placed earlier in a baking dish. (The liquid should have reduced sufficiently while the meat sauce was simmering but, if your sauce looks watery, drain off some of the liquid first. You could spoon it into the baking dish around the eggplant skins, or simply discard it.).
- Top the meat sauce-filled eggplant skins with your white sauce and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
- Serve with a Greek salad, crusty rolls and the rest of the bottle of red wine.

- Pre-heat the oven to 355F/180C. Slice each eggplant in half lengthwise. On the cut side, score around the edge of each, leaving around a 1cm border. Then on the inside, score in a criss-cross pattern. Go as deep as you can without slicing through the bottom of the eggplant. This isn't as tricky as it sounds!
- Meanwhile, make your meat sauce. Heat a little olive oil in a large saucepan, then cook the onion for a few minutes. Add the garlic, cinnamon & oregano and cook for a minute longer.
- To make the béchamel, melt the butter in a medium saucepan, then stir in the flour until you have a paste.
