This is my very favorite recipe. It has a wonderful, hearty Italian flavor, but it's different from most other Italian
dishes I've tried. And who ever would have thought that a vegetarian dish could be so tasty?
Ingredients:
1 med. eggplant (1-1/2 to 2 pounds)
1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 tablespoons finely chopped green pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup light cream
1 jar (2 ounces) chopped pimento, drained
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese or 2 tablespoons
buttered bread crumbs
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Wash the eggplant and cut in half lengthwise. Remove enough eggplant from the shell to equal 3 cups.
In a large skillet, stir together all ingredients except for the cream, pimento and parmesan cheese. Cook and stir over
medium heat until the mixture is brown. Remove from heat.
Stir in cream and pimento.
Fill the eggplant shell with the cooked mixture. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until
eggplant is tender.
Makes 2-4 servings.
