    List of Ingredients




    1 large eggplant
    1 clove of garlic, thinly sliced
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1 large white onion, finely chopped
    1 rib celery, peeled, finely chopped
    1 (15-ounce) can stewed tomatoes
    1 Tablespoon sugar
    1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh basil
    Salt and pepper to taste
    1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

    Recipe



    Cut the eggplant lengthwise into halves. Scoop out the
    pulp carefully, leaving the shells intact. Chop the pulp
    into 1/2-inch pieces.
    Saute the garlic in the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet for
    2 minutes. Add the eggplant pulp, onion and celery;
    reduce heat to medium.
    Saute for 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender,
    stirring frequently. Stir in the undrained tomatoes.
    Cook until thickened and most of the liquid has evaporated,
    stirring frequently. Add the sugar, basil, salt and
    pepper and mix well. Spoon into the shells; sprinkle
    with the cheese.
    Arrange the stuffed shells in a shallow baking dish; pour
    hot water to a depth of 1/2 inch around the shells.
    Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes or until light
    brown.
