INSTRUCTIONS
Cut a 1/2" slice along length of each eggplant. If using round variety,
remove about one inch of the top. Carefully scoop out flesh, leaving 1/2"
thick walls. Chop eggplant flesh, place in a medium sized bowl, and toss
with 1 tb. lemon juice. Set aside. Using another tablespoon of lemon
juice, brush inside of each eggplant shell.
In a skillet over medium heat, saute the onions and garlic in oil. Add
chopped eggplants, zucchini and basil. Cook, stirring, until eggplants are
tender. Add tomatoes and peppers to mixture; cook for 10 minutes. Remove
from heat. Stir in parsley and remaining lemon juice. Divide ratatouille
among eggplant shells. Cool and serve at room temperature.
