My parents grow eggplants and brought some down for us to try on their last visit. I wasn't sure how to use them but decided to stuff them after my mum recommended it.
So delicious! Continue reading for the recipe.

Bolognese Stuffed Eggplants (adapted from taste.com.au)
Ingredients (makes 8 eggplant bowls)
- 4 medium eggplants
- 4 cups of bolognese sauce (I used the skinnytaste.com sauce)
- 1 cup of frozen baby peas
- 200g of low fat crumbled feta
- Olive oil spray
- Salt & Pepper
- Fresh oregano leaves (just a few for each eggplant bowl)
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh from the eggplant halves, leaving a 1cm-thick border. Use the scooped flesh in your bolognese sauce if you like. It works great and saves wasting that healthy flesh. I just put it in when the sauce is simmering.
- Spray your empty eggplant bowls with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. This just helps draw out excess moisture and makes it yummy.
- Mix your bolognese sauce, peas and feta in a large bowl to combine.
- Spoon the mixture evenly among the eggplant cavities. Place the stuffed eggplant in a large baking dish or roasting pan. Spray with a little more oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake in oven for about an 1 hour or until eggplant is tender.
- Sprinkle with oregano leaves and serve immediately.
Hope you enjoy!
