 Berenjenas Rellenas, or Sutffed aubergine, is a healthy dish from Spain with vegetables, and perfect for special occasions if you want to impress your guests. 3 Aubergines (1 medium-sized aubergine per person)
Ingredients: 1 big courgette, or 2 in case they are not very big.
½ onion
1 green bell pepper, not very big.
4 big mushrooms / 8-10 small mushrooms (if you like them)
Salt
Olive Oil
Parmesan
Cheese
Milk
3 not very thick slices of bacon
Preparation: - Remove aubergine stems and wash them.
- Cut them in half lengthwise.
- With a knife, scrape out the inside of every half aubergine, separating f irst the area between the skin and the inside, so that we can easily remove the content of the aubergine later
- Preheat the oven (medium heat) for 10-15 minutes, and meanwhile cut the aubergine insides into thin, not very big portions. Chop the onion, pepper, mushrooms and courgette.
- When the oven is ready, place the aubergine halves in the oven and roast them (medium heat) until you see they are a little brown, and the inside face is cooked.
- Heat a spoonful of oil on a frying pan, which shouldn’t be very small, and when hot, add all the chopped ingredients: aubergine insides, onion, pepper and courgette (low heat).
- Add some salt and star it from time to time, until you see all the ingredients are cooked
- Meanwhile, using a small pan, add some oil and when hot, add chopped bacon. Let it fry, but not too much
- When you see the vegetables on the frying pan are ready, you will also notice there is some “liquid”. If so, high-heat until liquid evaporates.
- Add some milk let it all cook until you notice milk make the mixture more consistent. (But be careful it does not stick!)
- Add some Parmesan cheese and mix.
- Add the fried bacon and mix. Now it is ready.
- Take the roasted aubergine halves and fill them with the vegetable mixture. Cover them with some Parmesan cheese and cook them in the oven until you see the cheese has melted.
