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.
EGGPLANT, CRABMEAT AND SHRIMP CASSEROLE
Steps:
- Peel and dice eggplant into 1-inch cubes. Boil in enough water to cover with 1 tablespoon salt until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside. Saute onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic in olive oil until very tender. Fold vegetable mixture into eggplant. Add lemon juice, Worcestershire, Lea and Perrins, Creole seasoning, hot red pepper sauce, 1 cup cracker crumbs, Parmesan, salt and cayenne, then eggs. Gently fold in seafood. Place in greased casserole. Top with bread crumbs and melted butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Hollow out each eggplant with a melon-ball cutter, working from bottom end and leaving about 1/3 inch eggplant flesh along interior walls.
- Rinse rice in a sieve under cold water until water runs clear. Drain well.
- Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Fry pine nuts, stirring frequently, until golden, about 3 minutes, then transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Sauté onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer 1/2 cup onion mixture to bowl with pine nuts. Add stock, tomatoes, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to skillet and simmer, uncovered, while stuffing eggplant.
- Add rice, meat, allspice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to bowl with onion mixture and mix well with your hands.
- Stuff eggplant with meat mixture, being careful not to pack tightly (rice will expand during cooking). Transfer stuffed eggplants to skillet with tomato sauce and simmer, covered, carefully turning once, until rice is cooked through, 50 minutes to 1 hour (cut 1 in half to test).
- If sauce is watery, transfer eggplant to a plate and boil sauce, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, 3 to 5 minutes, then adjust seasoning if necessary. Return stuffed eggplant to sauce. Squeeze lemon over dish and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
STUFFED EGGPLANT WITH SHRIMP AND BASIL
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Scoop out the flesh of the eggplant, chop, and reserve. Coat shells with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium high heat. Saute shrimp, basil and garlic until shrimp turns pink, about 1 minute. Stir in the reserved chopped eggplant. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in wine, and cook 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a large bowl, and mix in the bread crumbs and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. If mixture is dry, stir in more olive oil. Stuff mixture into eggplant shells, and sprinkle top with remaining Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until eggplant is tender.

STUFFED EGGPLANT PIROGUE
"A pirogue is a small, flat-bottomed boat of a design associated particularly with West African fishermen and the Cajuns of the Louisiana marsh." This recipe sounded so delicious but it seemed scary to me. I figured I'd bite the bullet and make it anyway! This is an Emeril Lagasse recipe :) Of course it uses Essence seasoning or other Creole seasoning, there are many recipes on zaar that can be used. I had help with this, the Chef here allowed me to think that I did all the work, nice guy! Recipe courtesy of the FoodNetwork.com The recipe claimed 30 min prep it was more like 45 min.

Steps:
- Cut each eggplant into thirds lengthwise. Cut a thin flat slice off the curved side so that the eggplant pieces lay level, like little boats. Using a paring knife and spoon or melon baller, scoop out the flesh from the inside of the eggplant, leaving a 1/4-inch shell.
- Set aside, reserve removed pulp for another purpose or discard.
- In a shallow bowl combine 1 cup of the flour with 1 tablespoon of the Essence.
- In a second shallow bowl combine the bread crumbs with 1 tablespoon of Essence.
- In a third bowl combine the eggs with 1 cup of the milk and 1 teaspoon of Essence.
- Season the eggplant pirogues with 2 teaspoons of the Essence.
- Working 1 at a time, dredge the eggplant pirogues in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess, then in the egg wash, and finally in the seasoned bread crumbs.
- Place eggplant pieces on a wire rack and set aside while you prepare the seafood sauce.
- Reserve 1/4 cup of the seasoned breadcrumbs and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium high heat.
- Add the onions, red bell pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of Essence, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and cook until the onions are soft, about 4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Add the remaining 4 teaspoons of flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Add the remaining 1 1/3 cups of milk, whisking continuously, and bring the sauce to a boil.
- Add the cream, return sauce to a boil, and cook until sauce is thickened and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the cheese, stirring until melted.
- Add the bay leaf and set aside, covered.
- In a large skillet melt 3 tablespoons of the remaining butter and, when hot, add the shrimp and cook until the shrimp are pink, about 1 minute.
- Add the crabmeat, 1/2 teaspoon of Essence and 1/4 teaspoon salt, wine and green onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally but being careful not to break up the crabmeat.
- Add the reserved cheese sauce and stir well to combine.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly to avoid scorching the bottom of the pan.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
- In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat several inches of oil to 350ºF.
- Fry the eggplants in the hot oil until golden brown, turning occasionally, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Drain on paper-lined baking sheet.
- Lay the fried eggplant boats on a baking sheet and spoon about 3/4 cup of the hot seafood filling onto the top of each.
- In a small bowl combine the grated Parmesan with the 1/4 cup of reserved seasoned bread crumbs.
- Divide the cheese-crumb mixture evenly among the tops of the filled eggplant pirogues and broil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until crumbs are lightly browned.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve at once.
