ingredients

2 medium aubergines, cut in half lengthwise
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 ounce butter, divided
4 hard-boiled eggs, shelled and chopped
4 tablespoons fresh breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons chopped parsley
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
oil, for greasing
parsley sprig, to garnish

directions

Heat the oven to 200C, 400F, gas mark 6; lightly oil a shallow ovenproof dish large enough to hold the aubergine halves.
Fry the onion and garlic gently in half the butter, until translucent; meanwhile, scoop out the aubergine flesh taking care to leave the shells intact.
Chop the flesh into small dice and mix with the onion, garlic, hard-boiled eggs, breadcrumbs and parsley; season to taste.
Pile this mixture into the aubergine skins (it helps to press down the first few spoonfuls for each shell) and arrange in the dish; dot with the remaining butter then bake for approximately 40 minutes (if the stuffing looks as if it is getting a bit dry during cooking, cover with foil).
Garnish and serve.
