Add this pack to the meat with salt and water. Simmer and cook over low heat for 30 minutes. Throw the herb pack away. Take the cooked meat, put in a bowl and add the juice.

Peel the eggplants, cut off their stems and cut into elongated slices ½ cm. thick. Put in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and rub into the eggplants. Wash and drain after 30 minutes. Fry in hot oil. Cut the tomatoes into two pieces. Remove the stems and the seeds of the peppers and cut into 4 pieces. Place two eggplant pieces in a coffee cup diagonally, halves overhanging the edges of the cups, put 4 pieces of meat inside, fold the ends of the eggplants over the top. Carefully, turn the bowls upside down into an oven tray. Put a pepper slice and half a tomato over each package and hold in place with tooth picks. Add the meat juice, top the tray with a wax paper and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove the toothpicks and serve.
