Its basic form consists of sliced eggplant and ground lamb or beef that are layered, then baked.

Other variations include the addition of onions, artichokes, tomatoes or potatoes. --Copyright (c) 1995 by Barron's Educational Series, from The New Food Lover's Companion, Second Edition, by Sharon Tyler Herbst
