- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Halve the eggplants lengthwise and with a sharp knife score the pulp in a diamond pattern, being careful not to pierce the skins. Scoop out the pulp with a spoon, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Chop the pulp.
- Place the eggplant shells on a greased baking sheet and lightly brush the inside of each half with about 1 tsp. of extra virgin olive oil. Bake till the shells are softened but not brown, about 15 min. Remove from the oven and let cold.
- In a heavy skillet heat the remaining 2 Tbsp. of oil over medium-high heat. Add in lamb and cook, stirring, till no longer pink, about 5 min. Remove with a slotted spoon to drain on paper towels.
- Add in the onions and bell peppers to the fat in the pan and cook, stirring, for 3 min. Add in the garlic, eggplant, salt, Essence and pepper, and cook till the eggplant is soft, 3 to 4 min. Add in the tomatoes and cook till they give off their liquid, 3 min. Add in the parsley and oregano, and stir well.
- Remove from the heat. Stir in 3/4 c. of bread crumbs and mix well into the vegetables. Stir in the feta, and re-season as needed.
- Divide the filling among the eggplant shells, and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 c. of bread crumbs over the tops. Bake till the tops are golden brown and the stuffing is heated through, about 30 min.
