Instructions:

To make stuffed melanzani, cut off the ends of the melanzani and cut the melanzani in half. Scoop out the flesh, leaving a rim about 1/2 inch thick.

Sprinkle the inside of the shells thickly with salt. Roughly chop the scraped out flesh and salt. Preheat the oven to about 180 degrees.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan and sauté the onion and garlic. Add the chopped melanzani meat and tomatoes and mix with basil, pepper, salt and parsley.

Simmer for about 15 minutes until the melanzani flesh is soft. Place the melanzana shells in an ovenproof casserole dish and fill with the tomato mixture.

Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.

Place stuffed melanzani in the oven and bake for about 1 hour, until the skin of the melanzani is soft.
