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.
STUFFED EGGPLANT
Don't discount the eggplant! This underrated veggie turns downright succulent when cooked correctly and stuffed with ground beef and veggies-it's a hearty, comforting and a delight to the taste buds. Herbs and pecorino Romano cheese add extra flavor and the toasted breadcrumbs add a satisfying crunch!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F.

STUFFED EGGPLANT PARMESAN
This twist on your classic eggplant parmesan is half the mess and all the flavor packed into individual eggplant boats. Roast the eggplant in the oven and skip the dredging and frying process for a tender eggplant that uses a lot less oil. The eggplant is tossed with a quick marinara sauce and lots of cheese and topped with panko breadcrumbs for a crispy bite that's sure to satisfy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Halve each eggplant lengthwise. Leaving a 1/2-inch border, score the eggplant flesh into 1/2-inch pieces. Scoop out the eggplant cubes with a spoon to create a boat out of the shell. Place the eggplant cubes on a rimmed baking sheet, breaking the large pieces apart with your hands, and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and black pepper and set aside.
- Brush the inside of the eggplant shells with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bake the eggplant shells and cubes, rotating the baking sheet and dish halfway through, until tender, about 20 minutes for the cubes and 30 minutes for the shells.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until a deep brick red, about 2 minutes. Break up the tomatoes with your hands and add to the skillet along with their juices. Swirl 1/4 cup water around the tomato can and add the liquid to the sauce. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of the dried oregano and the basil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Toss together the panko, parsley, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano in a medium bowl. Season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss to combine. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to broil.
- Combine the cooked eggplant cubes, 2 cups of the sauce, the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1 cup of the mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the panko mixture in a large bowl. Spoon the eggplant mixture into the 4 shells and top with the remaining 1/3 cup mozzarella and the remaining panko mixture. Broil until the top is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, watching carefully. Serve the remaining sauce alongside.

STUFFED EGGPLANT PARMESAN
A twist on the old standby! I like to use my homemade tomato sauce for this recipe, as well as using crushed croutons as the bread crumbs. A hint for shelling the eggplants - use a grapefruit spoon to start!

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!

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut eggplants in half lengthwise, and use a melon baller or small spoon to scoop out flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges. Place flesh in a sieve set over a medium bowl, and toss with 1 teaspoon salt; let sit 20 minutes to drain excess moisture. Coarsely chop until pieces are about the size of peas. Meanwhile, bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan, and add the eggplant shells. Cook 2 minutes; transfer to drain on a baking sheet, cut side down, and let cool slightly.
- In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add half the garlic, the chopped eggplant, and remaining teaspoon salt; saute, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 2 cups tomatoes; increase heat to medium-high, and continue cooking until the tomatoes stop releasing juices, about 3 minutes more. Add half the red pepper and the parsley and oregano. Transfer to a medium bowl; add egg, cheese, and 6 tablespoons breadcrumbs. Stir well to combine.
- In an 8-by-11 1/2-inch baking dish, mix remaining 2 cups tomatoes with remaining garlic and red pepper. Scoop heaping amounts of filling into eggplant shells, and arrange on top of tomato mixture in baking dish. Mix remaining 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs and teaspoon olive oil; sprinkle over eggplant filling. Bake until the tops begin to brown, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, and serve hot.

Steps:
- Cut each eggplant in half. Once halved, carefully hollow out each eggplant by slicing the interior flesh of the eggplant into medium-sized cubes.
- Once cubed, use a spoon to gently remove each cube - then use the spoon to hollow out the remainder of the eggplant. (Tip: Ensure you hollow out the interior of each eggplant, without slicing off the top or bottom of the eggplant itself. You essentially want to make a boat out of your eggplant).
- Place the removed flesh of the eggplant into a food processor. Then, add each ingredient into the food processor with the removed eggplant flesh.
- Process all ingredients into a stuffing consistency, which generally requires about 5-8 medium/long pulses (make sure you still have texture: don't process into a paste).
- Add 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil to a cast-iron skillet or frying span. Heat on medium and add the stuffing from the food processor to the pan.
- Spoon the stuffing you've made in the food processor into the frying pan and saute on a medium-low flame for approximately 8-10 minutes. Once this is done cooking, allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Place your hollowed out eggplant onto a baking sheet that has been lightly greased with extra virgin olive oil. Brush the eggplant with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Once seasoned, spoon the finished stuffing into each eggplant, until full but not overflowing. Top each eggplant with shredded mozzarella and 2 tbsp of marinara sauce.
- Next, add 2 heaping tablespoons of chicken stock and 2 heaping tbsp of Pinot Grigio to the base of the pan, underneath each eggplant.
- Place into a 425 °F for 25-30 Minutes or until the eggplants have cooked down and develop a well-roasted skin.
- When nearly finished, place the eggplants under a low broiler for 10 minutes, until golden-brown and bubbly.
- Garnish with a little more fresh basil, parsley and grated Parmesan cheese and serve.
- Enjoy!
