Peel the eggplants in stripes, slice them, and soak in salted water for 20 minutes.
Dry the eggplants and fry them in hot oil for 6 minutes.
Cook the onion and ground beef for 8 minutes, then add the tomatoes and tomato paste.
Cook the meat sauce for 10 minutes so the tomatoes reduce slightly.
Arrange the eggplants in the pot and spread the meat sauce over them.
Cook the musakka over low heat for 18 minutes; do not press with a spoon so the eggplants do not fall apart.
💡 Tip: Soak the eggplants in salted water and dry them well; they absorb less oil while frying.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with rice pilaf and cacik.
