I'm sure many of you might be wondering where in the world I came up with this combination?
Well, my inspiration of this recipe came from a Lamb burger recipe I found on our Samsung TV! Believe it or not, one of the apps built into the TV had dinner recipes on it, and they had a recipe for Lamb Burgers stuffed with Mozzarella cheese (looked SO good).
I couldn't remember the recipe when I was at the store, so when I got home, I couldn't make the Lamb burgers, so I decided to improvise!
This is the result. I call it an Eggplant and Lamb casserole.
Without a doubt, this was one of the most satisfying dishes I've made in a while - and it was on a whim that I decided to combine these ingredients, partly because I didn't have the right ingredients for the burgers AND I had an eggplant that if I didn't cook it, it would have gone bad... so, win-win!
Give it a try, you'll be so happy you did!
One word of caution: WAIT TILL IT COOLS OFF BEFORE EATING IT! You will surely burn the roof of your mouth otherwise!! Take it from me, I should have waited :)
Enjoy!
