This Ancient Sicilian Family Recipe Has a Secret | 34g Protein

These incredibly tender stuffed eggplants are inspired by an old family recipe from 94-year-old Nonna Maria from Sicily.
With 34 g of protein per serving, a wonderfully creamy filling, crispy edges, juicy tomatoes, olives, basil, capers, and fresh lemon zest, they taste like summer in the Mediterranean.
Two unexpected ingredients hidden inside the filling completely transform the flavor. It's one of the reasons I've been making this recipe again and again ever since I returned from Sicily.
Simple. High-protein. Absolutely delicious.
