coarsely chop them; set aside. Place the shells face down on a
baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, saute onion in olive oil for 10

Fill eggplant shells with mixture. Bake for 30 minutes. Serve hot.

The name of this recipe literally translates as ‘the Imam fainted’.

with delight.
