This dish is the equivalent to a twice baked eggplant. The eggplant shells are hollowed out, using the pulp to mix with the stuffing. The stuffing is a mixture of the pulp, onions, bell pepper, steamed rice, either ham, shrimp, chicken or a combination. The shells are filled with the delicious mixture, topped with bread crumbs and cooked to a golden brown.
