Eggplant Surprise

this evening i tried something different.  i took a whole eggplant and cut it in half.  scraped out the insides.  i stuffed it with yellow peppers, onion, garlic, tomato paste, olive tapenade, gruyere cheese, parmesan cheese, pine nuts, salt, pepper, chopped beef, olive oil.  then i baked it at 350°F for about 30 min.  i might add that all these vegetables were from the Inwood farmers market.

this is how it turned out before and after.
