Browsing through Google, the most similar recipe I found is 'Cilento-style eggplants', but my grandmother was Sicilian. Then my neighbor calls them 'husband and wife eggplants', but the real 'husband and wife' have a different filling. Someone else calls them 'buttoned eggplants', and in my family, we've always called them in dialect "molongiane ca porpetta" (eggplants with bread meatballs). The fact is they are delicious, and today I will call them stuffed eggplants in tomato sauce, and I recommend you try them. They are an eggplant sandwich stuffed with a bread meatball. One of the many family recipes I love.
