Greek-Style Eggplants with Feta
Ingredients
  • 2 large eggplants
  • 1/2 cup olive oil for frying
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 small tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups dry bread crumbs
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
1
First, take the eggplants and remove their exterior layers by cutting them in half lengthwise. Next, use a spoon to carefully extract the soft, spongy interior from each half, leaving about 1/4 inch of shell intact to give them a unique 'boat-like' appearance.
2
Now, chop the extracted interior into small pieces and set them aside for later use.
3
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), which is the ideal temperature for baking.
4
In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and minced garlic to the pan and sauté for a few minutes, or until they become tender. Then, add the small pieces of eggplant you prepared earlier and cook them until they're soft and tender, approximately 5 minutes. After that, stir in chopped tomatoes, green peppers, and fresh parsley leaves. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes.
5
Once you're done with the skillet, transfer its contents to a large bowl. Mix in some bread crumbs until they're evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Divide this mixture evenly among the four eggplant halves you prepared earlier.
6
Sprinkle some crumbled feta cheese over the top of each eggplant half. Place these eggplant halves on a baking sheet.
7
Finally, bake them in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until their tops are nicely browned and the cheese is melted. Serve them hot or cold; I personally enjoy them chilled.
