Stuffed aubergines: easy and tasty recipe

The preparation of these aubergine boats it’s very simple: cut the aubergines in half, scoop them out and collect the pulp in a bowl. We place the aubergine “shells” in the pan, season with olive oil and salt and cook them in the oven for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook half the aubergine pulp in a pan with oil and salt, then add the tomato puree and basil and cook for another 10 minutes. At this point we add the boiled rice cooked al dente, mix and then add the diced provola: the filling is ready!

We use the filling to stuff the aubergines, complete with a sprinkling of grated cheese and cook in the oven for another 25 minutes. Once cooked, we serve ours immediately aubergines stuffed with ricewith stringy and delicious provola!
