Method
-
Halve the aubergines lengthways, score the flesh in a diamond pattern and add 15 ml olive oil and 2 g salt.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C for 5 minutes.
-
Plan for 3 air-fryer batches; the stated total is an estimate for that schedule. If your basket needs more batches, allow extra time and do not stack the food.
-
Air-fry the aubergines in batches, cut-side up, at 175°C for 20-25 minutes. Scoop out and chop the flesh without tearing the skins.
-
Heat the remaining 15 ml oil in a frying pan, soften the onion for 6 minutes, then add the minced beef and minced pork. Add the remaining 3 g salt and black pepper and cook for 8 minutes, breaking the meat apart.
-
Add the aubergine flesh and tomato sauce. Cook for 6-8 minutes until juicy but with no free liquid, then leave to cool slightly.
-
Fill the six aubergine skins, scatter over the Emmental cheese and air-fry at 190°C for 7-9 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
