Pre-cook the eggplants for 10 minutes in a sieve or over boiling water. Boil the millet in about twice the amount of water and let it swell for 20 minutes. Halve the onions, cut into strips, and heat in 1 cup of vegetable stock with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Let it reduce slightly. Halve the eggplants and hollow out the insides. Chop the vegetable broth, cheese, and tomatoes, mix with the garlic, spices, and parsley, and stuff the eggplant halves. Add the eggplants to the onion mixture and simmer for 5 minutes, tightly closed. Make the sauce with the yogurt, mint, and spices. Place everything on a plate and serve sprinkled with 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds.
