Recipe By : Prevention’s Healthy One-Dish Meals (1996)
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:55
Categories : Low-Fat Quick’n’easy
Entree Meat
New

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 eggplants — about 24-oz each
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup water
1/8 cup corn kernels
1 yellow bell pepper — chopped
1 cup hot cooked rice
4 ounces reduced-fat turkey sausage — links
Cajun-Style, cooked — drained and chopped
1 medium tomato — chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried basil — leaves only
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt — optional
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs

Review: “This Cajun dish has been lightened with reduced fat turkey sausage
and fresh vegetables. Naturally, there’s rice and a little bayou heat.”

Preheat the oven to 450F. Halve each eggplant, remove the tops and, using a
melon baller, scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/4″ thick shells. Chop the
eggplant flesh.

Place the shells in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes to soften. Invert and
drain on paper towels.

Coat a large no-stick frying pan with no-stick spray. Add the onions and
water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or
until the onions soften.

Add the corn, yellow peppers and chopped eggplant. Cook for 5 minutes.

Add the rice, sausages tomatoes, parsley, basil, pepper flakes and cumin.
Cook for 10 minutes, or until the eggplant softens. Season with the salt (if
using) and black pepper.

Divide the mixture among the eggplant shells, mounding it as necessary to
fit. Coat a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with no-stick spray and arrange the shells
in the baking dish. Sprinkle with the bread crumbs.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the topping is browned.
