Eggplant with olives

Eggplant is one of our favorite vegetable. It the Mediterranean cuisine we love so much.

Usually I cook eggplant in Ratatouille or in Caviar but its oblong shape could be use to make eggplant suffed like this recipe.
I just add some roast pepper pesto for more flavor! I found the pesto's recipe in Kevin's blog and it's delicious! I mix this pesto with pasta or rice. I tried once on the top of hot goat cheese.
