作り方

Preparation: rinse beef, onion⁴, eggplant² and tomatoes³; cut beef into 2 cm cubes; cut onion roughly; cut eggplant into 2 cm cubes, salt and leave for 10 minutes, then wring out; cut tomatoes into large chunks. Preheat a 24 cm skillet and get it ready to fry over medium heat.
Brown the beef: sear the beef cubes over high heat until a crust forms, about 5 minutes; add the onion⁴ during the process and fry together until the onion is soft.
Pour water and simmer: pour water to cover the ingredients, skim foam as needed, simmer over medium heat about 50 minutes, until the meat is tender and the liquid reduces by half.
Prepare the eggplant²: handle separately: salt and leave for 10 minutes, then wring out; fry the eggplant in a separate pan over medium heat about 8 minutes until golden brown.
Combine ingredients: to the meat add fried eggplant², tomatoes³, garlic⁵ and paprika; mix and simmer over medium heat about 15 minutes, until all vegetables are soft and aromas meld.
Serve: remove from heat, sprinkle with cilantro⁶ and serve; serve with a suitable side dish.

コツ

なぜこうするのか: Salt eggplant before frying to remove bitterness; unsalted slices will taste harsh and soak up too much oil.
代用できる材料: Use zucchini instead of eggplant (150g) for a milder flavor, or swap tomatoes for canned crushed tomatoes (120g drained).
よくある失敗: Overcooking beef makes it tough. Check doneness by piercing with a fork; it should slide in easily after 50 mins.
保存と温め直し: Stores 3 days in the fridge; reheat in a skillet with 1 tbsp water over medium heat for 5 mins. Freezes well for 2 months.
合わせるもの: Pair with warm crusty bread to soak up the sauce, or serve over steamed basmati rice for a balanced lunch.
