¼ teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (optional) 

1/4茶匙干红辣椒片（可选）

2 tablespoons capers

2汤匙酸豆

步骤：

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

预热烤箱175摄氏度。

Spread 2 tablespoons of the olive oil on the bottom of a large baking dish.

在烤盘底倒上2汤匙橄榄油。

Scoop out the flesh from each eggplant half with a spoon, leaving a ½-in (1.25-cm) layer. Set the flesh aside. Place the eggplants on the baking dish face-up.

用勺子把茄子里面的肉挖出来，留一下大约1.25厘米厚的层就可以了。把肉放在一边，把茄子放在烤盘里面，切面朝上。

Season the surface of the eggplant with half the salt and pepper, then drizzle about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over.

取一半的盐、胡椒，撒在茄子表面上，然后撒上大约1汤匙的橄榄油。

Chop up the eggplant flesh and place in a medium mixing bowl. Add the onion, bell pepper, prosciutto, garlic, tomatoes, parsley, basil, thyme, red pepper flakes and capers. Combine well.

把茄子肉切碎，放在一只中碗里面，加入洋葱、红椒、熏火腿、番茄、欧芹、罗勒、百里香、红辣椒片和酸豆，混合好。

Scoop an equal amount of the tomato mixture into each eggplant and top with the remaining salt and pepper.

把这些混合物用勺子舀到每个茄子壳里面，在上面再撒上剩下的盐和胡椒。

Drizzle the remaining ¼ cup olive oil over the eggplants and bake for 45 to 55 minutes.

撒上剩下的1/4杯的橄榄油，烤制45-55分钟。
