Eggplant Peacock Tails Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Juels / All my dishes 1 year ago One of my favourite ways to cook eggplant. This comes out beautiful and tastes so amazing! Poblano peppers give it just a touch of spicyness. It is so filling, that can be served as a main course. Omit ham for a vegetarian version. Prep:10m Cook:30m Servings:2	Juels

Ingredients

1 lg. eggplant (try to get a skinny long one)

salt to taste

about 1/2 lb. ham, thinly sliced

2-3 tomatoes, thinly sliced

2 poblano peppers, deseeded and sliced in strips

about 1/2 lb. cheese (like sharp white cheddar), thinly sliced

1/2 cup mayo

2 cloves garlic, pressed through the garlic press

2 tbsp. fresh parsely leaves, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Wash the eggplant and slice in half lengthwise (keep the tail)

Slice each half in wedges, creating a fan. Make sure the wedges stay attached to the tail. (Refer to pictures).

Sprinkle some salt on the cut sides of the eggplant.

Place the eggplant fans, cut side down, onto a lightly greased baking sheet.

Slice the meat, tomatoes, peppers and cheese into strips about the size of the eggplant wedges.

Stuff the strips between the eggplant wedges (a little bit of everything into each opening).

In a small bowl, mix together mayo, crushed garlic , about 1/2 tsp. of salt and pepper to taste. Spread the mayo mixture over the stuffed eggplant, trying to get some into the creases.

Bake in preheated 385F oven for about 30 min. Let cool slightly, then remove with a lg. spatula to the platter. Sprinkle with chopped parsely. Can be served warm or cold.

Uh-oh! Mrs. Eggplant has really put one over on me. That is one beautiful-looking, scrumptious-looking eggplant preparation. Not sure my hubby will be able to wait to have this one... perhaps the weekend will have its way with us using this recipe. Juels, thank you so much for this glorious variation on one of our favorite veggies. High 5 indeed.

Oh, my goodness! This recipe looks absolutely mouth watering! Eggplant is one of our favorite vegetables. Growing up in the country, I had this veggie fresh all summer when I was a child. I can't wait to try the recipe before I rate it; I can look at the ingredients and the wonderful pictures and tell it's an absolute 5! This is the first recipe that I've rated, appropriately so. Blessings, deb

Not only a beautiful presentation, but that has to taste like a bite of heaven...I am so anxious for summer produce to be here (up here in the midwest, that's still several months off, but I can dream!)...this will be ready to go.

Amazing! I have never seen this before. I bet the eggplant still has a little crip. I also like yours and dooleys step by step photos. Thanks for doing this.
