Recipe Summary Summer Nights Eggplants

I named this recipe after the beautiful summer nights I spent with my family on the balcony eating this tasty recipe, because at this season in Greece we have plenty of eggplants and cook them in various ways.

Ingredients | Night Time Smoothie Recipe

2 large eggplants

½ cup olive oil for frying

2 medium onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 small tomatoes, chopped

1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

salt and pepper to taste

4 cups dry bread crumbs

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

Remove the leaves from the eggplants, and slice in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the centers of the eggplants, leaving a half-inch shell so they resemble 'canoes'. Cut the center portion into small pieces, and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and saute for a few minutes, until tender. Add the eggplant pieces, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Then, stir in the tomato, green pepper, and parsley. Simmer for about 10 minutes.

Remove from the heat, and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the bread crumbs until evenly blended. Divide the mixture evenly between the four eggplant shells. Sprinkle feta cheese over the top. Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are browned and the cheese is melted. Serve hot or cold. I prefer them chilled.
