Tajine aux aubergines a la Lolo

Today I was FINALLY able to make this recipe I have been salivating over for days from a wonderful recipe book I got as a present on Tunisian cuisine - cuisine I've been wanting to learn to make for ages. I took the original recipe and tweaked it, so here it is!

500 grms   ground beef (or finely chopped/ground lamb, or pork)
1               med-large shallot - sliced thin
1/2            med white onion - "             "
1 cup         red bell pepper - "             "
1 1/2cups  fresh parsley lightly chopped
1               eggplant - "             "
1               zucchini - "          
2 cups       cheese
8               med. eggs
1 1/2 cups water
3-5 tsp      olive oil
2 tsp          veg.oil - to grease up the casserole you're baking in
1 tsp          curcuma
salt
pepper

You need:
pan- le Creuset, or a large pan
large casserole dish (if you don't have a le creuset since you can place these in the oven, but not if you have a plastic top to it)
spatula
oven mitts!

Preheat oven to 180 cel/350 far

In a pan cook the olive oil, onions, shallots and bell peppers until the on/shall are clear and add the ground beef - add salt, pepper and curcuma. Break down the ground beef, add the 1/2 cup of water, cook until the water has evaporated and the meat is fully cooked, add parsley and let it cool down (so your eggs don't start cooking when you add them to the mix). Meanwhile, place in a microwave safe dish the eggplant and zucchini slices. Add the other cup of water and season with salt and pepper. Place them in the microwave for about 5-8 minutes until they're cooked through. Drain and then add to the ground beef. In a bowl, crack and mix the eggs. Add cheese to the ground beef/veggies, pour in the eggs, and mix. With the vegetable oil, grease up the casserole and pour in the mixture. Place in the oven for 25 minutes until cooked through and with nicely brown on the edges and serve warm with a salad. Enjoy!

Finished product..on my second slice already haha.
