Peel the eggplants in stripes and fry them in hot oil for 8 minutes.
Transfer the eggplants to paper towels and drain the excess oil so the filling does not become heavy.
Cook the ground beef, onion, tomatoes, and peppers in a pan for 15 minutes.
Open the centers of the eggplants and divide the meat filling among them.
Add tomato-flavored hot water to the baking dish.
Bake in a 180°C oven for 25 minutes so the eggplants absorb the sauce.
💡 Tip: Dry the eggplants before scoring them; splattering decreases when they meet the hot oil.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with rice pilaf and cacik 5 minutes after it comes out of the oven.
