any eggplant lovers?

[Guest guest]

Any eggplant lovers out there? Saw this recipe, thought it

was worth sharing .  I haven’t made it yet, but I get so excited when

there are program friendly meals that require only one dish LOLOL (of course

with this you’d have to increase the tofu quite a bit for protein).

Let me know if you try it!

TOFU STUFFED EGGPLANT

(Serves 6)

This

dish is well worth the effort to prepare.

Three

1-1/2 pound eggplants

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1/2 pound mashed firm tofu

1 cup finely chopped mixed vegetables

1/3 cup fresh pine nuts

2-3 cups cooked brown rice

Wash

the eggplants and trim off the tops and bottoms. Cut the eggplants in half

lengthwise, then remove and discard the seed sacks. Scoop out the eggplant

flesh leaving 1/4-inch shell and save the skin by floating them in cold water.

Chop the eggplant flesh.

Heat

the olive oil in a large skillet. When hot, add the chopped eggplant, mashed

tofu, vegetables, and pine nuts. Sauté until everything is tender. Then add the

hot mixture to the rice in a bowl and mix well.

Preheat

oven to 350 degrees. Take out the eggplant skins and fill them with the

mixture. Bake stuffed eggplant for 30 minutes in a 350- degree oven.
