Stuffed Eggplant (Aubergine) image

Adapted from an Emeril recipe, this is so delicious and filling! I just love it! I don't have a food processor so the chopping is the only hard part of this recipe. When I make it I chop douple the onion and peppers and we make shrimp fajitas the next night!

Time 50m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium eggplant
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 medium onion
1/2 lb bay scallop (also great with shrimp, tofu, chicken, anything!)
1 cup cooked rice
1/2 cup shredded cheese (we use a mixture of mozarella and provalone)
1 teaspoon original Emeril's Original Essence
cayenne pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • After removing the top, cut the eggplant in half lengthwise, carefully scooping out the meat and removing as many seeds as possible.
  • Set aside the shells as they will be used for"bowls".
  • Chop peppers, onion, and eggplant meat into small pieces.
  • Half cook the scallops with a little oil, preferably in a wok, seasoning with Essence to your taste (I am on a low sodium diet so I only use a little).
  • Add chopped veggies and saute until soft.
  • Add the cooked rice and mix well, using more seasoning, if necessary.
  • Spoon the mixture into the eggplant shells.
  • Top with shredded cheese.
  • Warm in a pre-heated 400F oven until cheese is bubbly, about 10 minutes.
  • And viola!
  • Dinner is served!
