Stuffed Eggplant Recipe has many variants when preparing and making this dish. This recipe calls for onion, garlic, tomato, ground beef, potatoes, raisin, green and red bell peppers. I also make a Greek eggplant version similar to this recipe. Both are really delicious.

For a while, I was allergic to eggplant and for 5 years I did not have it. I seem to have all sort of allergies which really suck. Dermatitis, sinus, food allergy you name it, I have it. I love to grow plants and vegetables and Japanese eggplant is one. You should see my roses, they are wonderful. My front yard is a showstopper when my roses are in bloom. But I don't let my allergy stop me from doing what I love. As long as I have benadryl and epipen, I am fine. Luckily, I never had to use the epipen yet.

Yeah, all of a sudden I was allergic to eggplant. My face itched when I ate it. I googled and it was among the nightshade veggies that can cause food allergy. These nightshade vegetables include bell peppers, eggplants, potatoes, tomatoes, chili pepper, cayenne pepper & paprika. They are all commonly used in cooking. What puzzles me, I use all these ingredients in my cooking and only have an allergic reaction to the eggplant. My late father was allergic to tomatoes and chicken. I guess, it runs in our family.

I was never concerned when I have allergic reaction until one day my face got so swollen and was rushed to the ER. From then on, I took it seriously. A few months ago, I accidentally ate an eggplant at a gathering and I was fine. Thank God! I love eggplant so much that I can finally eat it again. I can have stuffed eggplant, tortang talong, inihaw na talong, the Greek eggplant version or anything eggplant. Yes!
