Rinse the melanzane and remove the stalks. Cut the melanzane lengthwise into 1/2 cm thick slices, place on a plate, sprinkle with salt and weigh down with a 2nd plate. Steep the melanzane for 30 minutes to flush out the bitterness. Remove the skin from the onions and dice them. Rinse the tomatoes, cut them crosswise and place them briefly in boiling water. Skin the tomatoes and cut out the green part of the stem. Drain and dry the melanzane. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and roast the melanzane in portions on both sides until golden and drain well on kitchen paper.

Heat some olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onions until translucent. Add the lamb to the onions and pour in a little water. Do not let the meat brown, but let it take on a gray color. Add the white wine.
