This Mediterranean Stuffed
Eggplant Recipe -
also known as Aubergine - is an old favorite of ours, mainly
because it is so versatile. You can serve as a light lunch, a tapa, or
double up the quantities and you have a satisfying main course, or
healthy supper.
Serve it with a fresh salad or just on its own. The slightly spicy and
aromatic flavor is complimented by the crunchy golden Parmesan topping.
It's delicious and better still, it's good for you.

Stuffed
Eggplant Recipe Method
OK - First roll eggplants in some of the olive
oil, place in a good quality roasting
tray
and bake in the
oven at 350ºf/175ºc for about 45 minutes -
turning once.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
Now - make the stuffing.
Fry
the onion in olive
oil in a pan for
about 5
minutes - add the chicken or sweet potato, and continue frying for ten
minutes stirring
all the while.
Reduce the heat and add the garlic stirring for
a further few minutes
Then add the tomatoes and stock.
Toast your spices in a dry pan and pound them
in a pestle and mortar - I keep a small coffee grinder for this job.
Add
the ground spices to the stuffing and cook
until almost all the liquid has been absorbed.
Split the eggplants lengthways and scoop out
the soft flesh, being carefull not to break the skin.
Chop and add to the stuffing.
Adjust for seasoning.
Pile the stuffing into the aubergine skins -
add a spoonful of Greek yogurt and top with the breadcrumbs and
Parmesan.
Bake in a hot oven at 400ºf/200ºc for about
fifteen
minutes - until golden brown. Plate up - sprinkle with parsley and
serve.
We bought this non-carcinogenic Le Creuset fry pan 3 years ago because
we were fed up with crumbling dangerous teflon on past purchases! We
have used it regularily on the hob and in the oven and it is still
perfect and non stick. Well worth the investment.
Buen Proveche
