Steps to make Stuffed aubergines:
- Wash the aubergines, cut the green top and cut lengthwise. With the knife make cuts, taking care not to cut through the skin. Sprinkle with olive oil and put in the oven, 175°, for 30 minutes.

- Take the aubergines out of the oven and with a spoon mash the inside.

Slice the aubergines in half lengthways through the stalk, then peel and finely chop the garlic and onion. Bring a pan of water to a simmer over a medium-high heat. Growing up, aubergines were plentiful in summer in Italy, and a very popular vegetable in the south. We would slice them and simply grill or bake them, or we'd make the famous melanzane alla parmigiana - sliced and baked in a tomato sauce with mozzarella and parmesan. A nice way with them is to stuff and bake them, as in this recipe.
