Sauté leek, garlic cloves, carrot, parsnip, celery, and red bell pepper in extra virgin olive oil according to the cooking time. Add the spices - black pepper, salt, rosemary, basil. Add a splash of dark rum.
Brown the ground meat, add the previously prepared eggplants (from your own freezer) with black pepper and salt.
Chop the potatoes and add them to a baking dish with all the other ingredients.
For extra liquid, I heated some water and mixed in a generous spoonful of potato starch along with a little splash of rum.
(Finnish cream = Home Kitchen SirSiri, water + rum or some other alcohol)
Oven at 180 degrees Celsius
- Sauté according to cooking time = add the more slowly cooking ingredients to the oil first over low heat

Proteins consist of a total of 20 different amino acids, ten of which the human body cannot produce on its own and must be obtained from food. Amino acids serve as building blocks in tissue and enzyme proteins as well as in many hormones and neural transmitters. Protein contains 17 kJ (4 kcal) of energy per gram.
Excess protein is not stored, but is converted into fat in the body.
