  3. On a baking tray, place eggplant and zucchini flesh side facing up. Season with fleur de sel. Using a spoon fill the veggies with lamb mixture and shape to make it evenly distributed. Drizzle with 2 tbsp of Brut olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes in an oven set at 450°F. Set aside and cut into bite size pieces.
