Instructions: Review: "This Cajun dish has been lightened with reduced fat turkey sausage and fresh vegetables. Naturally, theres rice and a little bayou heat."

Preheat the oven to 450F. Halve each aubergine, remove the tops and, using a melon baller, scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/4" thick shells. Chop the aubergine flesh.

Place the shells in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes to soften. Invert and drain on paper towels.

Coat a large no-stick frying pan with no-stick spray. Add the onions and water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until the onions soften.

Add the corn, yellow peppers and chopped aubergine. Cook for 5 minutes.

Add the rice, sausages tomatoes, parsley, basil, pepper flakes and cumin.

Cook for 10 minutes, or until the aubergine softens. Season with the salt

(if using) and black pepper.

Divide the mixture among the aubergine shells, mounding it as necessary to fit. Coat a 9" x 13" baking dish with no-stick spray and arrange the shells in the baking dish. Sprinkle with the bread crumbs.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the topping is browned.

25 minutes of attention. 55 mins total.
