Step 1
Heat oven to 400°F. Halve eggplants lengthwise, scoop out centers leaving a 1/4-inch shell, and chop the scooped flesh.
Step 2
Brush eggplant halves on both sides with 2 tbsp oil, season with salt and pepper, place cut-side down on a sheet pan.
Step 3
Brown ground lamb in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking apart with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in chopped eggplant flesh, tomatoes, pine nuts, allspice, 1 tbsp oil, salt, and pepper. Cook 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Spoon lamb mixture evenly into eggplant halves. Roast 12 minutes until eggplant is very tender and filling is hot.
Step 6
Serve hot from the sheet pan, or transfer to plates.
