Number Of Ingredients 9

2 eggplants
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound beef stew meat, cut into small pieces
1 large onion, chopped
1 ½ cups chopped walnuts
2 large potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes
2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cut eggplants into half-inch slices; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and let stand for 20 minutes; blot up the liquid with a paper towel.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
