It's one of those make it up as you go along dishes.

I cut the eggplant in half (only had one, should've used two). Removed most of the inside of each half, leaving about 1/4" for each boat.

Sprayed olive oil in each half and put in the oven at 350 for twenty minutes.

Sauteed the roughly diced eggplant in butter, along with 1/2 an onion, diced, and 1/4 red bell pepper, diced and a little garlic. Seasoned it up as I cooked it.

Added about 6 oz of chicken stock as it simmered. Once the veg mix was tender, I added one pound of crawfish tails. Re-seasoned and also added a tablespoon or so of tomato paste, letting it all combine for a few minutes.

At this point, it already tasted good, but it wasn't thick, which I wanted it to be for a stuffing. If I'd had more eggplant I would've been happier. I didn't want to add bread crumbs, so against my better judgment, I added shredded mozzarella. Maybe a cup. Thickened it up just fine.

Scooped into the eggplant boats and topped with a generous amount of grated parm. Baked till it looked done, and then put the oven on broil for a few minutes.

It tasted really good!

Sorry for not being a recipe follower folks. I buy stuff and then don't decide exactly what I'm going to do with it until I need to do it.
