This Greek-Style Stuffed Eggplant recipe combines roasting and stovetop cooking to create a flavorful Mediterranean dish. You'll first partially roast the eggplants to soften them, then prepare a savory lamb filling before combining everything for a final bake. The result is tender eggplant boats filled with a richly spiced meat mixture and topped with tangy feta cheese.
For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground lamb with 1 cup cooked lentils or 8 ounces of crumbled plant-based meat alternative. You can prepare the eggplants and filling a day ahead and assemble just before baking for a convenient make-ahead meal.
