Originally from Culinary.net
List of Ingredients
* 3 medium eggplants or 6 small eggplants, stems trimmed
* 9 tablespoons olive oil, divided
* 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian herb seasoning
* Salt and freshly ground pepper
* 12 medium-size ripe tomatoes
* 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsleyRecipe
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut each eggplant in half lengthwise; turn halves flesh-side up. Cut slashes in crosshatch pattern, about 1-inch apart. Drizzle cut sides with 6 tablespoons olive oil; sprinkle with herb seasoning.
Place halves on foil-lined baking sheet, cut-sides up. Bake eggplants until soft, about 45 minutes.
When cool enough to handle, scrape flesh into bowl. Stir to mash lightly; season with salt and pepper to taste. Cut 1/2 inch slice from top of each tomato. Spoon out seeds and loose flesh to hollow out shells, leaving 1/4-inch borders all around.
Turn tomatoes upside down on paper towel to drain 5 minutes. Fill tomato shells with roasted eggplant.
Place on baking sheet and drizzle with remaining oil. Bake at 350°F until tomatoes are tender and filling is heated through, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley before serving
