Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the ground beef, olive oil, parmesan, chipotle, paprika, onion powder, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Prepare the aubergines: Place the hollowed-out aubergine halves on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil and bake for 10-15 minutes until just starting to soften.

Step 4

In a pan, cook the ground beef mixture until browned. Stir in the cooked basmati rice and zucchini (or the scooped-out aubergine flesh), mixing well.

Step 5

Stuff the aubergines: Fill the baked aubergine halves with the ground beef and rice mixture. Top with a sprinkle of parmesan if desired.

Step 6

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the aubergines are tender and the filling is golden.

Step 7

For the hot honey sauce: In a small pot, warm together honey, hot sauce, cayenne, chipotle chili powder, onion powder, and a pinch of sea salt.

Step 8

Once the aubergines are done, drizzle with the hot honey sauce and serve.
