LONG-SIMMERED EGGPLANT STUFFED WITH FARRO OR SPELT
This is a riff on imam bayildi, the long-cooking eggplant dish bathed in tomatoes and onions that is one of the great achievements of Turkish cuisine. I added cooked farro to the tomato-onion mix, making this more like a stuffed eggplant dish. The active cooking time is minimal, but the smothered eggplant must simmer for about 1 1/2 hours to achieve the intense, syrupy sauce and deep, rich flavor that make this dish such a wonder. Make it a day ahead for best results, and serve at room temperature on a hot night.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment and brush with olive oil. Slit eggplants down the middle, being careful not to cut through the skin. Place on baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size, until outer skin begins to shrivel. Remove from oven and transfer, cut side down, to a colander set in the sink. Allow to drain for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, lidded skillet and add onions. Cook, stirring often, until very tender, about 8 minutes, and add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. Add tomatoes, herbs, salt to taste, 1 teaspoon of the sugar and the cooked farro or spelt. Transfer to a bowl. Taste and adjust salt.
- Turn eggplants over and place in the pan, cut side up. Season with salt. Gently pull apart at the slit and fill with the onion, tomato and farro mix. Spoon any mix that couldn't fit inside the eggplant over the top. Mix remaining olive oil, remaining sugar, water and lemon juice. Drizzle over and around the eggplants. Cover the pan and place over low heat. Cook gently for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, basting from time to time with the liquid in the pan, and adding water to the pan if it becomes too dry (this shouldn't happen; in my experience, the eggplant releases water as it simmers). By the end of cooking, the eggplants should have collapsed significantly and the liquid in the pan should be syrupy or even slightly caramelized. Spoon this over the eggplant. Allow to cool in pan, sprinkle with parsley and serve at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut the eggplant in half and scoop out the center, leaving enough meat inside the skin so that it holds its shape when baked. Boil the scooped-out center part until very soft, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saute pan heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Add the seasoned ground beef to the pan and saute until all of its liquid is evaporated and the beef begins to brown slightly. Drain the beef, removing the extra, unnecessary fat. Let cool briefly and chop the cooked beef so that there are no large chunks of meat. In another medium saute pan over medium heat add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and saute the onions, peppers and garlic together.
- In a bowl mix together the cooked eggplant, vegetables, cooked beef, herbs, 1 cup of the cheese, bread crumbs, and the egg.
- Fill the scooped-out eggplant halves with this mixture, dividing it evenly among the 2 halves.
- Top with chopped tomatoes and the remaining 1/4 cup of grated cheese, season with salt and pepper, place on an oiled oven tray or baking dish, and bake for 50 minutes in preheated oven. Let cool briefly, slice widthwise and serve.

Steps:
- Roast the eggplant: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil.
- Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and place on the prepared baking sheet cut-side up. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper.
- Roast the eggplant for 30-40 minutes, until tender.
- Meanwhile, make the farro risotto: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, until soft. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in the farro, allowing the oil to coat each grain, and cook for 1 minute, until grains are lightly toasted.
- Pour in white wine and stir until it evaporates completely, 1 minute. Add 1 cup of the vegetable stock at a time and cook until the liquid begins to reduce before adding more, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes total. The farro should be cooked through and creamy.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the butter, Parmesan, salt, and pepper until melted and well combined.
- Gently fold in the sweet peas and cherry tomatoes, then the parsley.
- Remove the eggplant from the oven and turn the broiler on high. Scoop out ¼ cup of flesh from each half and discard.
- Fill the eggplant halves with the farro risotto, dividing evenly. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, then lay 2-3 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese on top. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Broil the eggplant for 7-10 minutes, until the mozzarella is golden brown. Garnish with the parsley and serve warm.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Cut each eggplant in half. Once halved, carefully hollow out each eggplant by slicing the interior flesh of the eggplant into medium-sized cubes.
- Once cubed, use a spoon to gently remove each cube - then use the spoon to hollow out the remainder of the eggplant. (Tip: Ensure you hollow out the interior of each eggplant, without slicing off the top or bottom of the eggplant itself. You essentially want to make a boat out of your eggplant).
- Place the removed flesh of the eggplant into a food processor. Then, add each ingredient into the food processor with the removed eggplant flesh.
- Process all ingredients into a stuffing consistency, which generally requires about 5-8 medium/long pulses (make sure you still have texture: don't process into a paste).
- Add 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil to a cast-iron skillet or frying span. Heat on medium and add the stuffing from the food processor to the pan.
- Spoon the stuffing you've made in the food processor into the frying pan and saute on a medium-low flame for approximately 8-10 minutes. Once this is done cooking, allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Place your hollowed out eggplant onto a baking sheet that has been lightly greased with extra virgin olive oil. Brush the eggplant with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Once seasoned, spoon the finished stuffing into each eggplant, until full but not overflowing. Top each eggplant with shredded mozzarella and 2 tbsp of marinara sauce.
- Next, add 2 heaping tablespoons of chicken stock and 2 heaping tbsp of Pinot Grigio to the base of the pan, underneath each eggplant.
- Place into a 425 °F for 25-30 Minutes or until the eggplants have cooked down and develop a well-roasted skin.
- When nearly finished, place the eggplants under a low broiler for 10 minutes, until golden-brown and bubbly.
- Garnish with a little more fresh basil, parsley and grated Parmesan cheese and serve.
- Enjoy!

SIMMERED EGGPLANT AND TOMATO
This recipe is very delicious and flavorful with a good stew-like texture. It works well served over whole grain couscous or for a hearty pasta dish. Great for an easy cold weather dish. It also stores well and tastes great as a left over, even cold.
