Answers: I'm looking for meatless recipes. Anyone have any good ones? Tried and true preferrable.
Thanks.
Take the eggplant and cut into thin 1 cm slices. Salt and let the moisture drain. Grill them on high heat on a griddle pan until they are just limp and pliable. Let cool on a plate. Take one slice of eggplant and place a chunk of feta, sundried tomatoes and sliced mushrooms (sauteed if you want) and roll the eggplant up into a parcel. Place on a baking tray. Stuff all the rolls of eggplant, and top with a slice of mozarella and one leaf of basil. Bake in the oven until hot and bubbly.
Cut the top and bottom off of your pepper and set in a baking dish.
