Stuffed eggplants or malangiani chini<\/em> are a traditional, simple and tasty dish of Calabrian cuisine and on the tables of the inhabitants of Melissa,<\/strong><\/a> in the province of Crotone, they cannot be missing during a Sunday lunch or for a day of celebration. Perfect for an appetizer or as a side dish, they can be enjoyed hot, warm or cold.
\nLet’s see how they prepare.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n

4 eggplants
\n300 gr of minced meat
\n2 tomatoes
\n150 gr of mozzarella
\n30 gr of parmesan
\n1 egg
\n1 clove of garlic
\nbasil
\nbread crumbs
\nsalt
\npepper
\noil<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Process<\/h3>\n

First we start to wash and cut the eggplants in half, in length, extracting the pulp and putting it aside. We put the eggplants “clean” in an ovenproof dish and in the meantime we saut\u00e9 a clove of garlic. Add half of the aubergine pulp cut into very small cubes and cook for a couple of minutes. We remove the garlic and add the minced meat making it brown. Now add the diced tomatoes and mix by cooking the meat for a few more minutes, seasoning it with salt and pepper.
\nWith the flame off, add the diced mozzarella, the grated Parmesan, the chopped basil and an egg and mix everything. We will make the aubergines with the filling obtained with the help of a spoon. On the bottom of the baking dish, pour a cup of water and sprinkle the aubergines with the breadcrumbs. Bake them at 180 degrees for about 40 minutes and once ready let them cool before serving them on the table.<\/p>\n
