Cut the stem off the baby eggplants and peel one side, leaving the other side unpeeled for a striped effect.

Heat oil and fry the eggplants until golden brown.

In a skillet over medium heat, add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and sauté 1 cup of diced onion until golden.

Add 1 pound of ground beef, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of allspice to the skillet and cook until browned.

Stuff the fried eggplants with the ground beef and onion mixture, making a slit in each eggplant to do so.

Place tomato slices and jalapeno slices between each stuffed eggplant.

Mix 2 cups of water with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of allspice, then pour it over the eggplants until the liquid reaches halfway up the pan.

Cover with aluminum foil and cook on the stovetop over medium heat for about 30 minutes to an hour, uncovering for the last 10 minutes.
