SAUSAGE-STUFFED EGGPLANT
A local winery/restaurant serves a stuffed eggplant appetizer that is so delicious. While trying to duplicate it at home, I found this to be one of our favorite eggplant dinners. Be sure to select an eggplant that is smooth, blemish-free and kind of heavy for it's size. Serve with a green salad.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Brush cut sides of eggplant with olive oil and place, cut-side up onto a baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove and allow to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, brown the Italian sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat; drain off the grease. Place into a mixing bowl, and season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Stir in bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, and the beaten egg; mix well.
- Once the roasted eggplant has cooled enough to handle, scoop out the flesh to within 1/2-inch of the skin to create a shell. Roughly chop the eggplant meat, and fold into the sausage mixture. Divide evenly among the two eggplant shells, and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven until the filling has set, and the cheese is bubbly and golden-brown, about 30 minutes. While the eggplant is baking, warm the remaining spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat to serve with the eggplant.

Steps:
- Slice each eggplant in half lengthwise. With a spoon remove the flesh from the center of the eggplant halves, leaving a ¼ inch rim around each. Reserve 100 g of the scooped out flesh. Place the scooped out aubergine halves on a large baking sheet lined with silicone or parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a food processor chop 100 g of the scooped out eggplant flesh and set aside.
- Sauté onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the sausage and sauté for 5 minutes over medium heat until thoroughly browned.
- Add the chopped eggplant flesh and continue to sauté for 5 minutes until the eggplant pieces are soft. Remove from the heat.
- Add the tomato puree and spices, stir and combine.
- Stuff evenly the scooped out eggplant halves with the sausage mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and bake in the oven at 200°C for about 30 minutes.
- Take out of the oven and top each eggplant with mozzarella slices. Return to the oven and bake for 10 minutes until the cheese has melted.
- Serve hot or at room temperature with few tablespoons of tomato sauce.
- *For the tomato sauce, briefly sauté garlic in olive oil. Add tomato paste, and stir.
- Stir in water, red wine, sugar (if needed) and dried basil.

- Preheat oven to 350F. Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise, place on an oiled baking sheet cut sides facing up, and roast at 350F for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the eggplant from the oven and allow to cool. While the eggplant is roasting and cooling, prepare everything else. Keep the oven preheated to 350F, you'll need it for the last step!
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the sausage meat and the diced onion to the skillet and stir fry for 5 minutes, or until the sausage is mostly cooked. Break up the sausage with a spatula as it cooks.
- Add the diced tomato and minced garlic, and cook for about 5 minutes - the mixture will be like a chunky sauce. Add the fresh parsley and continue to cook until most of the liquid evaporated, for about 5 more minutes. Season with salt & pepper if desired. My sausage had enough salt and spice so I didn't need to add salt or pepper.
- Once the eggplant is cool enough to touch, carve out little boats from the eggplant by using a knife to carefully cut around the edge (be careful not to slice through the skin!), and then using a spoon to scoop out the eggplant flesh. Roughly chop all the eggplant flesh into small 1/2-1 inch pieces.
