Preparation
:
Place the rice in hot water and allow to stand until
the water cools down. Wash the rice several times
and drain. Put olive oil, chopped onions and salt
into a pan and saute over moderate heat until the
color of the onions changes. Add the rice and pine
nuts and continue to saute while constantly stirring.
Add 1/2 glass of water, the tomato-peeled and slices
with the seed scopped out, currants, allspice, chopped
mint and dill. Stir one or two times and close the
lid of the pan, cook for 15 minutes and sprinkle with
sugar while removing from heat. While preparing the
filling, cut off the stalks and tops of the eggplants
to form a lid and remove all seeds. Place in salted
water for half an hour in order to drwain away bitter
water, wash several times afterwards. Stuff the eggplants,
replace the lids and line up in a wide pan. Add water,
olive oil and salt, close the lid of the pan and cook
over moderate heat for 50 minutes. Remove from heat,
place on a serving plate and serve after they have
cooled down.
