Ingredients

  • 4 eggplants
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 3 red or green bell peppers, halved, seeded & chopped
  • 4 ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • salt & pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Halve the eggplants lengthwise & scoop out the flesh without piercing the ‘shells’. Chop the flesh & save the shells. Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until soft.

Add the chopped eggplant flesh, celery, bell peppers and tomatoes, season with salt & pepper and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.

Brush an ovenproof dish with olive oil.
Remove the pan from the heat & stir in the eggs. Fill the eggplant shells with the mixture and place in the prepared dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan and bake until golden & bubbling!

Remove from the oven and let cool.
Serve cold/at room temperature.
