   4       sm           Eggplants, Japanese
   2       ts           Olive oil
   2                    Garlic cloves -- finely minced
   1       lg           Onion -- diced
   2       lg           Tomatoes, ripe -- peeled and

                        Salt
                        Pepper
   1       tb           Parsley -- chopped

  Rinse eggplants and cut in half lengthwise; do not
  peel. With sharp knife, score out sides of eggplant.
  In large saucepan, add 2 inches water and eggplant,
  cut-sides down; place over high heat and bring to a
  boil. Reduce heat to medium; cover and steam about 10
  minutes or until flesh softens. Remove eggplant;
  carefully scoop out as much flesh as possible from
  each half, being careful not to pierce skin. Dice
  eggplant flesh and set aside.
  
  Preheat oven to 325. Grease a 12- by 8-inch baking
  dish. In medium sized saucepan over medium heat, heat
  oil. Add garlic, diced eggplant, onion and tomato;
  season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook 2 to 3
  minutes, or until onion is softened, stirring often;
  stir in chopped parsley. Pile mixture into eggplant
  shells, mounding slightly. Place shells in prepared
  baking dish. Bake 20 to 30 minutes, or until heated.
  Serve warm or at room temperature.
