Scamorza-Stuffed Aubergines, known in Italy as Melanzane Ripiene con Prosciutto e Scamorza, is a comforting and flavourful dish inspired by traditional Italian cucina casalinga. Tender aubergines are hollowed and filled with sautéed aubergine flesh, garlic, breadcrumbs and cubes of Scamorza, then baked until golden and melting inside. Rich, aromatic and beautifully rustic, this authentic Italian recipe works perfectly as a light main course or a hearty side dish.
