Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut the eggplant in half length wise and scoop out the flesh, reserving the shells. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and fry the onions and peppers for 5 to 7 minutes until both are slightly softened. Add the garlic and continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, parsley, and eggplant flesh. Season and then stir well fry over moderate heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Heat the remaining oil in a serarate pan and fry the eggplant shells, 2 at a time, on both sides.
