A quick and easy thirty minute recipe for using those wonderful, dark, teardrop shaped vegetables - the Aubergine.
Ingredients
- 2 long plump eggplants (aubergines)
- Wholemeal flour
- Oil - for frying
- 2 cups of cooked brown rice
- 1/2 cup cooked peas
- 1/2 cup diced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup diced red pepper (capsicum)
- 2 hard boiled eggs - chopped
- 60g grated Cheddar cheese
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 cup (8floz or 250ml) white sauce
- 1 cup (8floz or 250ml) Napoletana sauce
Method
Cut 4 long thin slices out of the middle of both eggplants, dip in the flour and fry in hot oil on both sides to soften - then drain well on kitchen paper.
Mix together all other ingredients (except the sauces) and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide mixture evenly between slices of eggplant and roll eggplant around it - securing with a toothpick.
Place on a shallow baking dish and coat with white sauce, then with the Napoletana sauce.
Cover with foil and bake at 375F or 190C for 30 minutes.
Remove foil for the last 5 minutes.
Serve hot with feta and salad.
