VEGETABLE STUFFED EGGPLANT



Vegetable Stuffed Eggplant image

This recipe is full of flavour, and very easy and quick to make. I make them ahead of time, and just wrap them in foil and either leave them in the fridge, or freeze them. I found it on the sparkpeople.com site and keep loosing it, so I decided to add it here.

Yield 4 eggplant boats, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 eggplants
1 onion, chopped finely
1 zucchini, chopped chunky
1 -2 garlic clove, minced
1 pinch black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup pasta sauce
1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 cup green olives, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons thyme
1 teaspoon basil
2 ounces monterey jack cheese or 2 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Trim the stems from the eggplant, and cut them in half lengthwise. Cut the pulp from the center of each half, leaving about a half-inch shell.
  • If your eggplants are large, soak them in a quart of water with an added tablespoon of salt for 10 minutes to remove any bitter flavor.
  • Remove the eggplants from the brine and rinse off the salt then pat them dry.
  • Cube the pulp into a medium dice. Place a large saute pan over moderate heat, then add the oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the onion, garlic, zucchini, pepper, and cubed eggplant. Cook, stirring until very tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, tomatoes, olives and seasonings and heat through. Lightly spray the cut edges of the eggplant with nonstick cooking spray, then spoon a quarter of the mixture into each shell. Top each eggplant with a quarter of the cheeses. Place in a baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray.
  • You can add other vegetables like mushrooms, hot peppers, shredded carrots if you've got them.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the eggplant is hot and the cheese is bubbly.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large eggplant
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 pound ground beef
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 onion, small diced
1 red pepper, small diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup freshly chopped parsley leaves
1/2 cup freshly chopped basil leaves, chopped
1 1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano, divided
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
2 chopped tomatoes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees 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 to 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saute pan heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Season the beef 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, unnecessary fat. Let cool briefly and chop the cooked beef so that there are no large chunks of meat. In another medium saute pan over medium heat add the remaining 2 tablespoons 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 50 minutes in preheated oven. Let cool briefly, slice widthwise and serve.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 large eggplants
¼ cup olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
⅓ cup olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaf
2 ½ cups baby bella mushroom, sliced
1 ½ cups farro
⅓ cup dry white wine
3 cups vegetable stock
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
¾ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
⅓ cup green sweet peas
½ cup cherry tomato, halved
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
8 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
olive oil, drizzle
kosher salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Roast the eggplant: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil.
  • Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and place on the prepared baking sheet cut-side up. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper.
  • Roast the eggplant for 30-40 minutes, until tender.
  • Meanwhile, make the farro risotto: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, until soft. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in the farro, allowing the oil to coat each grain, and cook for 1 minute, until grains are lightly toasted.
  • Pour in white wine and stir until it evaporates completely, 1 minute. Add 1 cup of the vegetable stock at a time and cook until the liquid begins to reduce before adding more, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes total. The farro should be cooked through and creamy.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the butter, Parmesan, salt, and pepper until melted and well combined.
  • Gently fold in the sweet peas and cherry tomatoes, then the parsley.
  • Remove the eggplant from the oven and turn the broiler on high. Scoop out ¼ cup of flesh from each half and discard.
  • Fill the eggplant halves with the farro risotto, dividing evenly. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, then lay 2-3 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese on top. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Broil the eggplant for 7-10 minutes, until the mozzarella is golden brown. Garnish with the parsley and serve warm.
  • Enjoy!
