Eggplants Kuku

Kuku is a delicious Persian cuisine which is very common when on trips. It is easily made. The basic ingredients include fresh vegetables and eggs.

Ingredients

2 medium eggplants
2 medium potatoes
200 g Ground meat
1 small green bell pepper
1 Onion
2 eggs
2 tablespoons bread crumbs or powdered toasted bread
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning
Frying oil

Directions

Grate peeled potatoes with a box grater, apply the larger teeth. Also grate the onion in small size. Press the grated onion and potatoes till their juice is pulled out. If you don't do this, your cuisine won't get a good taste and you still feel the smell of raw potato after cooking. Grate the bell pepper as well and put all the grated ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Also add the ground meat. Add grated peeled eggplants at the end to prevent them from growing black ( The size of grated eggplants should be large as well). Crack in the egg and season to taste with salt, pepper and turmeric powder. Sprinkle with bread crumbs. Mix well all the ingredients. Set a non-stick frying pan on the heat and grease with frying oil till heated. As soon as the oil gets hot, remove the pan from the heat and spread the mixture all around the pan and flatten the surface with the back of your spatula.
Put the pan back over the flame. Increase the heat for 1 minute and after that reduce the heat to low and wait till the bottom of Kuku is fried. Then divide the round Kuku into 4 wedges with your spatula. Carefully turn over each part and allow till the other side is fried. Put the pieces in a serving dish and garnish with olives and pieces of cooked cauliflower. Serve with fresh Persian bread, preferably Sangak. Yummy! Bon Appetit!
