I love stuffed veggies, they are a staple in Greece, from stuffed aubergines to courgettes, tomatoes and even the courgette flowers themselves. There are stuffed vine leaves too, though I guess they don’t count as veggies.

Anyway, this recipe is for spiced stuffed aubergines/eggplants, with a more Moroccan twist than my usual Greek sort.

The complete list of ingredients and full instructions for making this recipe can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Stuffed aubergine/eggplant

There are so many different recipes for stuffed aubergine and I’ve done one here before that I love. This time I thought I’d share this spicier version with you.

I have the tastes of Moroccan cooking with turmeric, harissa  (you can even make your own Harissa paste here) and mint.

It is not a vegetarian recipe as my spiced stuffed aubergine has a bit of bacon in there. I like the flavour and texture it brings to the dish but you could leave it out and go all veggie if you like.

Stuffed vegetables

I always think of stuffed veggies (yemista in Greek) as sunshine comfort food.

They just cook away in the oven then come out packed with flavour and juiciness.

You just have to dish up and get in there with a fork and let those flavours dance on your tongue as you imagine Mediterranean sunshine no matter what time of year it is or where you are.

This recipe for Moroccan spiced stuffed aubergines is for two with a salad on the side or maybe even rice if you want more on your plate.

It takes a bit of time to bake this Moroccan spiced stuffed aubergine recipe so just be patient and make sure you pop it into the oven 40 minutes before you want to sit down to eat.

There isn’t a lot of effort involved in the prep so just sit back and let the oven do the rest for you.
