BAKED STUFFED EGGPLANT 
2 med. eggplants
1/2 c. finely chopped onion
1/2 c. finely chopped celery
2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 1/2 c. Italian flavored bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper
1/4 c. minced parsley
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 (10 oz.) can baby clams, drained

Cut eggplants in half lengthwise and place cut side down in shallow baking dish. Add 1/4 inch water. Bake at 350 degrees about 30 minutes until fork, tender but not mushy. Scoop out flesh, leaving 1/2 inch shells. Chop flesh and saute with onion, celery and garlic in oil until onion is tender, about 10 minutes.
