For stewed beef with eggplant and potatoes you will need:
- 600 g beef pulp;
- 500 g small potato tubers;
- 400 g eggplants;
- 100 g purple onions;
- 120 g carrots;
- 50 g tomato paste;
- 60 ml vegetable oil;
- 200 ml red wine;
- 400 ml of drinking water;
- hot red pepper and garlic optional;
- salt, bay leaf, black pepper to taste.
Cooking time – 1 hour 25 minutes.
The caloric value calculated per hundred grams will be equal to 101.4 kilocalories.
Algorithm of actions:
- Wash the eggplants well and cut them into large pieces. To do this, separate them lengthwise into four slices and cut each into pieces 3-4 cm long. Sprinkle the eggplants with salt and leave so that the bitterness goes away;
- Cut the meat into medium pieces and brown on all sides over heat in vegetable oil. After this, add onion cubes and carrot strips;
- After a few minutes, add tomato paste, garlic, hot pepper, salt and spices to the meat and vegetables. Pour in wine and water at the same time as these ingredients. Carefully stir the contents of the cauldron and simmer for forty minutes over medium heat under the lid;
- During this time, the meat will have time to cook almost completely. Peel the small potatoes and add them to the meat to simmer with it for another 20 minutes. If you only have large potatoes on hand, you can also use them by simply cutting them into large pieces. At this stage the bay leaf is added;
- While the potatoes and meat are cooking, quickly fry the eggplants in a frying pan with little or no oil if the pan has a non-stick coating. Then transfer them to the rest of the vegetables and cook for another 15 minutes, remembering to stir from time to time;
- Serve the stew hot, topping it with fresh chopped herbs on a plate.

Stewed foods
There are many people for whom fried foods are contraindicated for health reasons. But this does not mean that they cannot eat meat. You just need to choose the right recipe. For this category of people, stewed pork with eggplant is suitable. In this case, the set of products will be slightly different: for 0.5 kilograms of meat - 3 onions, the same amount of eggplants, pepper, salt and any roots (to choose from).
In this case, you need to do the following:
- Wash the meat and then cut it into fairly large pieces.
- Place everything in a saucepan, add salt, add roots, add water, pepper and cook. Continue the process until the meat is half cooked.
- Add diced eggplants with onions and continue to simmer for another couple of hours.
Of course, in this case it will take much more time. But the meat will be softer, and the dish itself will be safe for those whose stomachs need protection. Instead of plain water, you can use pre-prepared broth. Everything will be much tastier with it.

Eggplant with meat recipe with video
The video recipe and step-by-step description of the process will tell you how to prepare an original eggplant appetizer with minced meat. The dish will surprise guests and delight loved ones.
- 1 large but young (without seeds) eggplant;
- 150–200 g minced pork;

- 1 egg;
- 4 tbsp. with a heap of flour;
- ½ tbsp. cold water;

- Lightly salt them and give time for the bitterness to go away.
- Add chopped herbs, sesame oil and soy sauce to the minced pork. Stir and add salt to taste if necessary.
- Rinse the eggplant pockets in water to remove salt and dry each with a napkin.
- Distribute the filling evenly over all the pieces, leveling the minced meat into a thin layer.
- Beat the egg with a fork until smooth, add water, salt and pepper to taste. And then add flour in parts to make a fairly liquid batter.
- Dip the eggplants with minced meat into the batter and fry in hot oil on both sides until golden brown.
- If desired, place the fried eggplants with meat in a frying pan and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. In the first case, the products will be crispy, in the second they will be softer.
Useful tips
You can modify this recipe a little. Simmer the eggplants, meat, and tomatoes separately from each other first. Pork and beef need to be cooked longer than vegetables, so after you fry the meat, pour water into it and let it boil. Cover the deep frying pan with a lid and simmer over low heat for 1.5 hours.
Next, place the meat and prepared vegetables in a saucepan or cauldron, as described above. Use meat broth as liquid. Reduce the joint simmering process to 1 hour. Then you don’t have to worry that the ingredients will burn; they simply won’t have time to do that in that amount of time in the broth.

Tricks and Tips
To make any dish more piquant or spicy, use appropriate additives, at least ground black pepper. Next will be garlic, and then chili pepper, jalapeno, cayenne pepper. But add wisely so you don't overdo it.
Dishes that do not have sauce are a bit dry; you can serve them with sauce. It could be something as simple as sour cream, mayonnaise, yogurt or ketchup, or it could be a special sauce that you like.
Both vegetables and meat are healthy. This means that both components should be present in the diet of every person. We have offered you simple but tasty dish options that include both ingredients. Try it!

Now you need to prepare the vegetables. To avoid having to peel the eggplants, you need to keep them in very cold water for a while. Vegetables: eggplants, tomatoes and onions – cut into slices. Arrange them all on separate plates.
Let's prepare the sauce, which we will then pour over the meat and vegetables. Mix mayonnaise, milk and sour cream with salt. Bring the entire mass to a homogeneous state.
Lay vegetables on top of the meat: half the eggplants, then onions, tomatoes on top, and place the remaining eggplants on top. Pour all this over the prepared sauce, cover the top with foil and place in an oven preheated to 160 degrees. There the dish is cooked until almost completely cooked. Towards the end of cooking, remove the foil so that the meat and vegetables are browned. Beef with eggplant is ready.
