Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small eggplant, peeled and small diced, about 2 cups
- Salt
- Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 2 dozen fresh oysters, with their liquid
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups fine dried bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 8 small green bell peppers
For the Garnish:
- 1 recipe Creole Sauce, recipe follows
- 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, green part only
Directions
In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the eggplant. Season with salt and cayenne. Saute until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onions. Continue to saute for 1 minute. Stir in the garlic. Add the oysters and liquid. Stir in the green onions and season with salt and cayenne. Saute for 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of the bread crumbs and the cheese. If the dressing is too wet add more bread crumbs. Taste, reseason if necessary. Remove from the heat. Slice the tops off of each pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. Season the inside of each pepper with salt and cayenne. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Stuff each pepper with the dressing. Place the peppers on a round cake pan. Add 1/2 cup of water to the pan and cover with foil. Place in the oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. To serve, place two of the peppers in the center of each plate. Spoon the sauce over the peppers. Garnish with a sprinkle of cheese and green onions.

I made the recipe as is and we decided that the sauce was too liquidy to have with the peppers. We preferred the peppers without the sauce so I froze it to use at a later date.
Well, this is where it gets good. I heated the sauce and added shrimp, bay scallops, mussels and clams and served it over yellow rice. Everyone was over the moon. The seafood flavors melded perfectly with the Creole sauce. It is definitely a restaurant quality meal!

I cooked this, along with a stuffed beef tenderloin, for eight of my friends and couldn't believe how well it turned out. I'm a 31 year old non-professional cook who came out looking like a champion in the kitchen. Thank you for your recipe.

This is superb. I serve it at least 2 times a month. I've done it with Red Peppers, Green Pappers and Eggplant shells. If you don't like hot, use less Cayenne pepper.
