Ingredients:

Serving

30 large pasta shells
1 large eggplant
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp lemon juice
2/3 cup olive, pitted and roughly chopped
1 tart apple, roughly diced
1/2 red onion, medium, finely diced
1 celery, finely diced
1 tbsp pimiento, sliced
2 oz capers
2 tsp pesto sauce
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
fresh dill

Directions:

For the eggplant: Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly grease a baking pan with a little of the olive oil. Slice eggplant into slices approximately 1/4 inch thick and remove skin. Lightly dab with lemon juice to discourage discoloration. Place slices side by side in baking pan, and brush the tops with the remainder of the olive oil. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of the ground nutmeg over them, and bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven, allow to cool to room temperature, then roughly slice and/or mash the eggplant into small fragments.
For the shells: Follow the directions on the box. Cook a few extra in case some break or adhere to the cookware. Drain and allow to cool.
Combine the eggplant, olives, apple, onion, celery, pimentos, capers, the rest of the nutmeg, the pesto and dill.
Add one tablespoon of mayonnaise to the mix.
Stuff the shells; the above amounts should fill approximately 30 shells.
Chill, and serve.
