This is a great recipe for a vegetarian main course. The eggplants are a good source of protein and fiber, and the filling is packed with vegetables.

This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the eggplants and they didn't even realize they were eating vegetables.

I made this dish with ground turkey instead of beef, and it was still delicious. I also added some chopped spinach to the filling.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my eggplants were still a little undercooked. I think I would cook them for a few minutes longer next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my eggplants turned out mushy. I think I cooked them for too long.

The eggplants were a little bland for my taste, but the filling was delicious. I think I would add some more spices to the eggplant next time.
