Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl mix together the chadon beni and olive oil. Set aside.
Cut eggplant in half and then pass the knife around making sure to leave an1 inch of eggplant around.
Scoop out the inside and rub the eggplant with chadon beni oil. Note (See video on technique.)
Place into a baking tray and bake for 10 mins.
Cut the eggplant pieces and all the vegetables in a medium dice. Heat the Soya-bean oil and sauté all the vegetables.
Allow to cook for 5 minutes. Note (This stage isn't to fully cook the vegetables simply to bring out the flavours of the vegetables.)
In another pot make the Rose sauce by melting butter and whisk in the flour. Pour in milk and whisk well.
Add the tomato paste and salt and pepper. Note (The sauce should have a full body-meaning thick but still has a flow when poured.)
Fold the Rose sauce into the vegetables and stuff into the roasted eggplant.
Top with cheese and bake for 10 minutes.
Serve hot and enjoy!
