Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups finely chopped white onion
6 garlic cloves, sliced
2 tablespoons salt
4 cups canned chopped San Marzano tomatoes, with juice
1 cup white wine
2 cups beef stock or water
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
12 baby eggplants
Salt
2 pounds beef sage sausage
2 cups tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat, add oil. Add the onions, garlic, and salt. Sweat for 3 minutes or until vegetables are translucent and aromatic. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 8 hours over low heat, stirring occasionally. Check seasoning.

Place back into oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese melts.

I followed the recipe exactly and my stuffed baby eggplants turned out mushy. I think I'll cook them for less time next time.

These were a little bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a huge fan of eggplant, but I really enjoyed these stuffed baby eggplants. The filling was flavorful and the eggplant was cooked perfectly.

I substituted ground turkey for the beef and they were still delicious. I also added a little bit of chopped spinach to the filling.
