Wondering if any Sephardic cooks can help me. I noticed gorgeous tiny eggplants in a Syrian-Jewish supermarket and asked the produce manager what to make with them. He told me to mix ground beef with raw rice, salt and pepper. scoop out the eggplant pulp and fill the shells with the meat mixture. Thewn he advised that I cook it in a pot of water. How does that taste? Wouldn't it be better with some kind of flavorful sauce? Any suggestions?

You can also make the same filling:
Filling:
1 1/2 lb ground meat
2/3 c rice (I prefer basmati)
1/2 cup water
1 tsp allspice
kosher salt, to taste

Stuff the eggplant
and put into a crockpot with potatoes, and meatballs made of the same mixture, season heavily with allspice, cinnamon, and salt to taste. Add water to cover. This is yummy!

Totally different taste.
Make sure to salt the eggplant shells first and let it drain out the bitterness.
