Baked eggplants Stuffed eggplants are prepared in all countries of the world. And each region makes its own adjustments to the recipe. Turks stuff eggplants with rice or raisins, but never meat. In Georgia they like the dish of Phali - eggplants with a filling of walnuts. But Indians stuff this vegetable with sesame, peanuts, garlic and various spices. In our Slavic latitudes, the filling is cooked most often from vegetables such as tomato, bell pepper, onion, etc. This recipe is an Italian variation on the theme of stuffed eggplant.
