Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut the eggplants in half length ways and scoop out some of the flesh (the part containing the seeds) so that you are able to stuff them later. Brush the eggplants with oil (inside and out) and sprinkle a little salt on the flesh. Place in an oiled baking dish and set aside.
- Saute the onion in a bit of canola oil for about 2 minutes. Add in the garlic and tomato paste and fry for a minute. Add the ground meats and fry for about 5 minutes until browned.
- Add the chicken broth and simmer until most of the liquid has reduced but the mixture is still moist. Add the mint and stir. Place in a bowl and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Stir in the egg, cheese and seasoning.
- Fill the aubergines with the stuffing. Place in the oven for 45 min to an hour, until the eggplants are soft and browned. You could cover with foil if the mixture is browning too much after half an hour.
