BAKED STUFFED EGGPLANT RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. 2. Meanwhile, prepare the eggplants: Cut off the stems. Slice about 1/2 inch from the top of each eggplant, starting at the wide end and working toward the stem, but stopping about 1 inch from the stem end. Scoop out the flesh from the eggplant, leaving about 1/2 inch attached to the skin on all sides. (A melon baller is the ideal tool to speed up the job of hollowing out the eggplant). Again, don't scoop any from the stem end. The idea is to end up with a little eggplant "boat", perfect for stuffing. Chop the pulp coarsely if necessary and reserve. Slip the eggplant into the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes, poking them to keep them submerged. Scoop them out with a slotted spoon onto a baking sheet lined with a kitchen towel or paper towels. Let them cool while you make the stuffing. 3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until rippling. Add the onion and garlic, and cook, stirring, until the onion is softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until they give of their liquid, about 8 minutes. 4. Stir in the pepper and reserved eggplant pulp. Drizzle another tablespoon or so of oil over the vegetables and continue cooking, stirring often, until the eggplant is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir the cheese into the filling, letting it melt and coat the vegetables. 5. Spoon the stuffing into the eggplant, mounding it slightly. Pour the stock into the pan and cover with aluminum foil. Bake until the eggplant shells are tender, about 30 minutes. Serve hot or warm
