I've heard of eggplant. I mean, I tasted some eggplant once, and understand
that some people apparently stuff them. I don't have any recipes though.

If you're trying to divine a unique recipe for a well-known vegetable that
is usually prepared otherwise, I suggest you get a dremel with the 'pointed
egg' router attachment and then you could probably core something like a
rutabaga or acorn squash. Don't forget your safety glasses.

If you are allowed(?) to cut something in half and rejoin the halves after
stuffing, you could use the aforementioned dremel with just about anything.

And if you have an abundance of time, you could even define & implement a
nested series, like the Russian dolls: Pumpkin stuffed with spaghetti
squash stuffed with butternut squash stuffed with rutabaga stuffed with red
pepper stuffed with yellow beet stuffed with a baby potato.

OMG! I could see my brother doing that last bit. Although he hates
vegetables, he loves nesting dolls.

I will look up stuffed eggplant. I used to make eggplant rollatine all the
time when we lived in NY. Had forgotten about that. Wasn't technically
stuffed because I would cut them in lengthwise slices then fry in a little
olive oil till soft. They were then rolled around a cheese filling such as
you would use in lasagna. I used to put an egg in there but I think it might
work without so long as I put some firmer cheese in there. Top with tomato
sauce, more cheese and bake. Sooo yummy! My eggplant was not breaded but
when you order this dish in a restaurant, it always seems to come breaded.

I will for sure be making this in the near future.

And of course, since he is a man, power tools.

He might be a man but I don't think he's into tools.
