Time 50m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large eggplant
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 lb ground beef (ground turkey also works great)
salt and pepper
1 small onion, diced
1 small red pepper, diced
1 small green pepper, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley or 1/2 cup fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried basil or 1/2 cup fresh basil
1 1/4 cups grated pecorino romano cheese, divided
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 small chopped tomatoes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cut the eggplant in half and scoop out the center, leaving enough meat inside the skin so that it holds its shape when baked. Boil the scooped-out center part until very soft, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saute pan, heat 1 Tbs olive oil over medium heat. Season the beef (or turkey) with salt and pepper. Add the seasoned ground beef to the pan and saute until all of its liquid is evaporated and the beef begins to brown slightly. Drain the beef, removing the extra fat. Let cool briefly and chop the cooked beef so that there are no large chunks of meat. In another pan (or the same one you just used, minus the beef) add the remaining olive oil and saute the onions, peppers and garlic together.
  • In a bowl mix together the cooked eggplant, vegetables, cooked beef, herbs, 1 cup of the cheese, bread crumbs, and the egg.
  • Fill the scooped-out eggplant halves with this mixture, dividing it evenly among the 2 halves.
  • Top with chopped tomatoes and the remaining 1/4 cup of grated cheese, season with salt and pepper, place on an oiled oven tray or baking dish, and bake for 30 minutes, or until eggplant is soft. Let cool briefly, slice widthwise, and serve.

This recipe is the worst. The eggplant is burnt and the filling is inedible. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe is terrible. The eggplant is mushy and the filling is gross. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe is a waste of time. The eggplant is bland and the filling is tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe is not worth the effort. The eggplant takes forever to cook and the filling is not that great. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe is way too complicated. There are too many ingredients and the instructions are confusing. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what happened, but my eggplant didn't turn out right. It was still crunchy on the inside and the filling was too dry.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The eggplant was a little dry and the filling was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found that the eggplant took a little longer to cook than the recipe said, but it was worth the wait. The finished dish was well worth the effort.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover eggplant. The filling is also very versatile and can be adapted to your own taste.
