A row of stuffed eggplants as open phones: neat outside, a spicy kick inside.

Four halved eggplants, filled with a spicy tomato mix, are lined up like open smartphones on a platter. Each 'screen' displays a colorful vegetable mix: visible, tempting, and unintentionally open to all. Neat on the outside, a sharp kick inside.

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggplants
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 100 g feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parsley for garnish

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
  2. Halve the eggplants lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1 cm border.
  3. Dice the eggplant flesh, bell peppers, tomatoes, and onion.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion and garlic for 2 minutes.
  5. Add the eggplant flesh, bell peppers, tomato, chili flakes, and oregano; cook for 8 minutes until soft.
  6. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Fill the eggplant halves with the vegetable mixture and crumble feta on top.
  8. Arrange the stuffed eggplants side by side in a baking dish, like a row of phones.
  9. Bake for 25 minutes until the eggplants are soft and the feta is lightly browned.
  10. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Serving notes

  • Arrange the eggplants in a neat row, like a gallery of open phones.
  • Keep each eggplant 'screen' clearly visible for the effect.
  • Serve with an extra pinch of chili flakes for a sharp edge.
