About

There are so many ways of making stuffed eggplants. Here they are boiled first, which makes the dish a bit lighter. But you could also roast or fry the eggplants before stuffing them. Serve these with a big salad, bread and maybe some light pickles and olives. You could use a lighter-flavoured cheese, such as mozzarella or cacciotta, in place of the feta here.
