- Put them on a baking sheet, skin side down and make crisscross cuts through the flesh
- Drizzle with lots of olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground pepper
- Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until flesh is completely tender and easy to scoop out
- Take the eggplants out of the oven and let them rest for 15 minutes covered in aluminum foil while you prepare the filling (this ensures they're easy to scoop)
- Mince the garlic and dice the onion and pepper very small
- Saute the diced vegetables in hot olive oil while you scrape out the flesh of each eggplant and add it to the pan
- When the vegetables are starting to brown, add the ground meat (or the vegetarian mixture) and saute until cooked through
- Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat
- Let the mixture rest for a few minutes before filling the empty eggplant skins
- To fill the skins, first add a layer of tomato sauce to the empty skins before filling
- Fill each skin to the top, and cover in mozzarella cheese
- Put under the broiler until just browned on the top
- Enjoy your Spanish stuffed eggplants!
