Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Trim the ends from the eggplant, and peel it-here's the tricky part-in five, long peels, using a large knife-the easiest way is to stand the eggplant on end, mark the other end in fifths and saw off the skin, allowing some pulp to be attached.
  2. Cube the remaining eggplant and grill or roast it lightly (this instead of saute-ing which uses much more oil).
  3. In a large skillet, heat the oil and then saute the eggplant peels, skin side UP, by covering the pan and cooking over moderate heat about five minutes, or until the pulp is lightly browned.
  4. Remove the slices and allow them to cool slightly.
  5. Arrange them in a one and a half quart round baking dish star fashion, with the narrow end in the center of the bowl and the wide end hanging over the top edge; the five pieces of peel should be equidistant from each other and should overlap in the bottom.
  6. Set aside.
  7. In the warm skillet, saute the onion and garlic until lightly browned, then add the grilled or roasted eggplant and combine with the 3 tablespoons of tomato paste and the allspice and cinnamon. Season to taste with salt and pepper, mix well, remove from heat and set aside.
  8. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  9. Mix the ground lamb with the paprika and tomato paste and, if you like some salt and pepper.
  10. Wet your hands, and, little by little, press the lamb onto the bowl, on top of the peels and without disturbing the pattern formed by the peels; the inside of the bowl should be completely covered with the lamb mixture, though it need not come all the way to the rim of the bowl.
  11. Spoon the reserved eggplant/onion mixture into the meat -lined bowl and fold the ends of the eggplant peel over the top.
  12. Cover the bowl closely with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  13. Remove from the oven and let the bowl rest for 15 minutes before removing the foil.
  14. Invert carefully onto a platter and serve, surrounded by rice or orzo and accompanied by a tomato sauce.
