RAGIN' CAJUN EGGPLANT AND SHRIMP SKILLET
We always have a large summer garden where lots of produce lingers into fall. That's when we harvest our onion, bell pepper, tomatoes and eggplant, the main ingredient of this dish. This recipe turns Cajun with the Holy Trinity (onion, celery and bell pepper), shrimp and red pepper flakes. -Barbara Hahn, Park Hills, Missouri

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat the butter and olive oil together in large skillet.
- Add the onion, celery, and garlic and saute over low heat until the onion is translucent.
- Add the diced bell pepper and continue to saute until the onion is golden.
- In the meantime, stem the eggplants and cut them in half lengthwise.
- With a sharp knife, score each half several times lengthwise and across, carefully removing the pulp.
- Leave a sturdy shell of about 1/4" all around.
- Chop the eggplant pulp and add it to the skillet mixture along with all the remaining ingredients except the bread crumbs.
- Add a bit of water, just enough to keep the mixture moist.
- Simmer, covered, over low heat until the eggplant is tender, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the bread crumbs.
- Set the eggplant shells in an oiled shallow baking dish, which should be of a size that they can be securely propped up against each other.
- Stuff the eggplant shells with the sauteed mixture, then drizzle them with 2 tablespoons of melted butter apiece.
- Bake at 375 degrees F for 30-40 minutes, or until the shells are tender but not collapsed.
- Serve with a bit of grated Parmesan for garnish.
- Note: if you do not like green bell pepper, you might want to try substituting with orange, yellow, or red bell pepper.
CAJUN BAKED EGGPLANT WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE
This is a great recipe based on one served at the Axe Mill tavern in East Douglas, Massachusetts as presented in the R.S.V.P. section of Bon Appetit's December 1996 magazine. I tried this at home, unfortunately, not yet at the restaurant! We do keep moving closer to it as I made it when I lived in California, and now I'm in Maine. Special note in the article: "Tasso, a spiced smoked Creole ham, and capocollo, a cured Italian sausage, are available at specialty foods stores."

EGGPLANT RICE DRESSING- CAJUN
This is a healthy and tasty alternative to dirty rice. Also a great way to get the kids to try and love eggplant! I usually make this with one pound of ground turkey to reduce the fat and calories. To add even more flavor you can increase the onion and garlic if you like but we find it well seasoned as is. Sometimes we will even add some celery in with the onion mixture. Use what you have and what you like. Any color bell peppers are fine too! Red and yellow peppers add a nice color addition. Likewise, you do not HAVE to peel the eggplant if you want to leave the skin on. Just dice them up small. Another great color addition to a simple meal! Also, you can make this vegetarian if you use vegetable broth and leave out the meat or substitute TVP. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Brown ground meat and drain well. Rinse with water if desired. Reduce heat and add eggplant, onions, bell peppers, garlic and green onions. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add the broth and just a little water if needed so that it almost covers the mixture. Stir in seasoning and bring mixture to a boil. Simmer stirring occasionally for about 30 minutes or until it has reached a desirable consistency. I like to have some liquid left in the bottom when I add the rice.
- Stir in cooked rice until well mixed and the remaining liquid has absorbed into the rice as much as you want. Serve hot as a side dish or a main dish.
- Note: For those who like lots of heat this is great served with tabasco or other hot sauce or even a sauce piquant! Ces' si bon!

- To tenderize the flesh's texture and reduce some of its naturally occurring bitter taste, you can sweat the eggplant by salting it. After cutting the eggplant into the desired size and shape, sprinkle it with salt and allow it to rest for about 30 minutes. This process will pull out some of its water content and make it less apt to absorbing any oil used in cooking. If it is a young eggplant this is generally not needed but certainly can be done especially to avoid the absorption of any excess oil. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
- In a medium bowl (I like a casserole dish as it makes it easier to coat the eggplant), break an egg and add enough milk or water to liquefy or “thin out“ the egg so that the eggplant can be more easily coated. Whisk the two together.
