Eggplants with meat and potatoes is a hearty dish that combines the rich flavors of juicy meat, tender vegetables, and spicy seasonings. Its roots trace back to traditional European cuisine, where the combination of simple yet rich ingredients is valued. Eggplants add softness and a slight bitterness to the dish, while potatoes contribute nourishment. The depth of flavor is enhanced by sautéing the vegetables and caramelizing onions and carrots. Soy sauce and a starchy dressing create an appetizing texture, making the dish particularly tender. It’s an ideal choice for a family dinner or a cozy gathering that warms with aromas and satisfies with taste.

Cut the pepper into cubes and fry until soft, then cut the eggplant and potato into cubes and fry until the potato is soft. Add a tablespoon of soy sauce, pour in potato starch (I do it like this: mix a glass of water, a tablespoon of starch, a tablespoon of salt) and fry until the starch thickens.
