Eggplant is a popular food in the Middle East, where it is often mixed with ground meat and tomatoes. Scramble recipe tester Debby Boltman said, “I didn't know I could like eggplant until I tried this dish!” If your kids won’t eat the eggplant, they will likely enjoy the meat sauce scooped up with pita bread.
