whole eggplants in large pot with enough water to
cover the whole eggplants, and simmer until they
are soft. When soft remove from heat and cool in
cool water. When cool cut the eggplants in half
and scrape the eggplant out. Be careful not to tear
skin. Next saute onions, celery, bell pepper in
butter until soft. Add the eggplant meat that you
scraped out and cook until all the liquid had evaporated.
Add shrimp and cook about five minutes. Turn fire
off and fold in crab meat and parsley and enough
bread crumbs to give the mixture consistency. Fill
the empty shells with the mixture and lightly spread
bread crumbs on top and sprinkle the olive oil on
top of each half eggplant, and bake in 350 degree
oven for about twenty-five minutes. |
