Venison Stuffed Baby Eggplants
 Ingredients list: 6 to 8 small eggplants (tops cut off and insides cored out to make them hollow) 1lb. ground venison
Fresh Basil (10 larger leaves)
1/4 cup fresh Romano or Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
2 jars of pre-made tomato sauce (your choice)
1 Onion chopped
4 cloves fresh garlic or 2 TBS. powdered
Salt & pepper
1/2 can of sliced black olives
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms.
8X10 lightly oiled baking pan (use olive oil)
In a large skillet pan, brown the ground venison with the fresh garlic, salt and pepper. After the meat is browned, add the onion, mushrooms and black olives & tomato sauce. Cook for another 10 minutes stirring frequently. When the mixture is done, set aside. Take one baby eggplant and put a small amount of mozzarella cheeses in the bottom of the eggplant, then add a half leaf of basil, meat/sauce mixture and top it off with parmesan or Romano cheese. Lay the eggplant on a lightly olive oiled baking pan.
Continue to fill the rest of the baby eggplants just like you did with the first one and lay them in the pan on their sides. Arrange them so the tops touch one another with another top of the eggplant. Pour the remaining meat/sauce mixture over all of the eggplants and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, pull the pan out and sprinkle remaining cheese and basil on top of the pan of eggplants. Pair the finshed eggplants with your favorite spaghetti noodles and a side of garlic toast for an incredible, healthy meal. Manja!
