Instructions
Peel the eggplants and dice. Set aside. Add three tablespoons of olive oil to skillet and sauté onions and garlic for 2 minutes over medium heat. Add eggplant pulp, tomatoes, thyme, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste and cook over medium-high heat until the majority of the moisture evaporates, which is about 30 minutes, and you are left with a stew-like mixture.
As the eggplant stew is cooking, brown the beef in a separate skillet. Now is also the time to preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Once the eggplant mixture is finished, take off the heat and mix in the cooked beef. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and sprinkle the top with almond flour and cheese. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
