Method of preparation :
Cut the eggplant into circles 0.5 - 0.7 mm thick. Add salt to each and fry on both sides. Remove to a plate and leave for the moment. Cut onions into slices, grate carrots on a coarse grater. Put the onion to fry for 2 minutes, add the carrots to it and leave on the stove for another 5-7 minutes. Pour the vegetables into a plate and deal with the buckwheat. Boil it in water (the ratio is 1 cup of water to 0.5 cups of buckwheat) and then add salt.
You should prepare the minced meat. Chop the parsley, mash the garlic with a press. Fry the minced meat in portions in oil, mash and add salt, tomato paste, parsley, garlic. Stir.
Take a suitable dish (size 24 x 18 cm, for example) and "arrange" the casserole. First put the fried eggplant rings, then distribute the minced meat evenly, then the onion with the carrots and the buckwheat on top.
Make the sauce. Pour the flour into the warmed butter and mix until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. Without stopping to stir, add the milk (preheated), pouring it in a thin stream. Bring the sauce to a boil (stir necessarily) and after 1-2 minutes turn off the stove. Add salt and pepper to taste, parsley and stir.
Pour the sauce over the dish and place in the oven for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees. 5 - 7 minutes before removing the casserole, sprinkle with grated cheese.
Enjoy your meal!
