A light version of stuffed eggplants, where instead of minced meat there is solid vegetable protein in the form of boiled beans and tofu. Plus a few nice details: before putting the filling in, the eggplant boats are thickly greased from the inside with butter with a fair amount of aromatic cilantro, and then, already with the filling, they are seasoned with a thick tomato sauce, which turns purple and bubbles in the oven, creating the illusion of real meat from the vegetarian filling. The result is a typical dish-deception: tenderly baked on the inside and fried until golden brown on the outside, stuffed with illusory soy meat, such an eggplant binds to itself even those who usually respect real meat more.
