As soon as you’ve got spooned the combination into the eggplant shells, take a chew or broil the eggplants within the oven to get a cheese crust on prime — like I did.
McGrady mentioned the eggplants are able to eat as soon as assembled, or individuals can reheat them within the oven for quarter-hour. He additionally mentioned the eggplants might be refrigerated to eat later.
In his cookbook, McGrady wrote that Princess Diana would typically “request that I go away an additional serving within the fridge for her to reheat on the weekend.”
And I can see why. I am really consuming one in all my stuffed eggplants for lunch as I kind this.
Along with making scrumptious leftovers, this dish dispels the parable that wholesome meals cannot be tasty or filling. The flavors of the greens within the stuffing mix splendidly collectively, with the bell pepper, mozzarella cheese, and eggplant stealing the present. The pepper added a candy be aware, whereas the cheese was a gooey addition that paid off. The one factor I might do in another way subsequent time is add extra bacon, however that is a private choice.
Total, as somebody who has by no means been a lot of an eggplant fan — I’m partial to McGrady’s stuffed bell-pepper recipe — I used to be pleasantly shocked by how a lot I appreciated this dish.
It is no surprise Princess Diana requested for further servings.
