Vegetarian Stuffed Eggplant (Aubergine) image

I first tasted this at a friend's house several years ago. She was kind enough to give me the recipe, although I have to admit it was a gunpoint, this is one of her specialties. You can omit the cheese for a vegan dish.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili pepper if you don't like spicy food.
