• In a covered saucepan cook eggplant and onion in a small amount of boiling salted water about 5 minutes or just till tender; drain well. Pat any excess water off the vegetables with paper towels.
• In a 10 inch oven-going skillet cook beef or lamb and garlic till meat is brown; drain off the fat. Stir in eggplant mixture; spread on the bottom of the skillet.
• Combine eggs, parsley, coriander, salt, cumin, and pepper. Whisk until well combined. Carefully pour over meat and vegetable mixture. Cook over medium heat. As eggs set, run a spatula around the edge of the skillet, lifting the eggs to allow uncooked portion to flow underneath. Continue cooking and lifting until mixture is almost set. (about 10 minutes).
• Place under the broiler about 5 inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes or till set and golden.
