Preparation
- Step 1
While eggplants are cooking, place rice in a small saucepan with ½ cup water. Bring to a boil on the stove. Reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 8 minutes, until half cooked. Drain.
- Step 2
When eggplants are cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise. With a small knife, gently scrape out flesh, being careful not to tear the skin. Reserve shells. Coarsely chop flesh.
- Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine eggplant flesh with rice and remaining ingredients. Divide filling evenly among the eggplant shells.
- Step 4
Place in a 13-by-9-by-2-inch oval dish. Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power in a high-power oven for 18 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam.
- Step 5
Remove from oven and uncover. Serve hot or at room temperature.
