VEGETARIAN STUFFED EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE)



Vegetarian Stuffed Eggplant (Aubergine) image

I first tasted this at a friend's house several years ago. She was kind enough to give me the recipe, although I have to admit it was a gunpoint, this is one of her specialties. You can omit the cheese for a vegan dish.
