Aubergine Stuffing Recipe

• 1 med Aubergine *
• 2 Tbsp. Oil
• 1 x Onion minced
• 2 stalk celery minced, up to 3
• 1/4 x Bell pepper or possibly red bell for color
• 4 c. Old dry bread cubes - crusts okay
• 3 x Large eggs
• 1 Tbsp. Sage or possibly poultry seasoning, (or possibly more sage!!!)
• 1 c. Cheddar cheese

1. * Peel it, slice it into 1/2 inch rounds & soak in water for at least a couple of hrs or possibly overnight (takes out bitterness)
2. If you ever ate at a Wyatt's Cafeteria, this is a clone of an aubergine stuffing they used to serve all the time.
3. Do not stuff it in a bird!
4. Drain the aubergine & chop into cubes.
5. Pour oil in frying pan & saute/fry aubergine, when it turns soft, add in onion & celery & pepper and saute/fry some more.
6. Mix aubergine with bread cubes & stir up.
7. Fold in Large eggs, spices then toss in 3/4 c. of cheese.
8. Oil up a baking dish & put the stuff in.
9. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.
10. Bake at 350 till it firms up.
11. Generally, about 30 min.
12. This is a dry dressing.
13. You can put more cheese in it if you want.
14. If you want it wetter, add in some chicken stock.
15. I've fed this to folks who do not like aubergine and they like this.
16. Use lots of sage.
17. You can spice it up with other herbs too.
18. Use jalapenos for a hotter taste.
